Environmental Working Group Lists Cell Phone Radiation Levels

Posted by Ainsley Jones Sep 10, 2009 8:56:48 AM

The jury is still out on whether cell phones can be directly linked to cancer. While the American Cancer Society, Food and Drug Administration and World Health Organization have ruled wireless devices are not a public health risk, recent studies have shown an increased risk for brain and mouth tumors in people who have used cell phones for 10 years or more.

 

The Environmental Working Group released a list ranking more than 1,000 cell phones in terms of radiation yesterday. The agency found that the highest emitting phones -- the T-Mobile myTouch 3G, Kyocera Jax S1300 and Motorola MOTO VU24 -- produced 1.55 watts per kilogram while the lowest, the Samsung Impression, produced 0.35 watts per kilogram, Phone Reviews reports.

 

According to Ethiopian News, Samsung accounts for five of the 10 lowest radiation-emitting phones and Motorola produced five of the 10 highest radiation-emitting handsets. The full list can be found at the Environmental Working Group Web site.

   I am one of a large number of people who have been seriously ill from their use of cellphones. I ran a business with one and used mine an average of 3000 minutes a month until I had gotten so ill I had to stop working and lost everything . I lost my business, my home and ultimittly my family.

   All the other people I have gotten to know over the last ten years of illness all worked for the cellphone industry.

   No one wants to listen to us though we are the canary in  the mine shaft for this issue and we go unheard.
