Re: Are Cell Phones and Wireless Technology Dangerous?

[NoRadBlog]

cellphones emit both ELF and RF/WM EMR.

The ELF is generated when the cellphone is transmiting the RF/WM.

The RF/WM is used to create the comunication between the cellphone and the antenna and back.

[NoRadBlog]

Thanks you for saying the truth!

[jackson32]

Saying we have to use scare tactics is not very smart. How about we look at the scientific evidence and present that to the public? As in we are not savages from the stone ages and should use logic and evidence instead of fear.

I am researching this and want to here what studies say and know all the details of those studies including methodology and who sponsored it, not just a mainstream media statement like 'experts say' which the sheeple accept without question.

[CutterSlade]

Biological organisms have been, throught history of the earth, ALWAYS been exposed to radiation. Even ioninizing, radioactive radiation!!! Instead of going mental about your exposure to cellphones or wifi, do a research about the RADON levels in your house!! Radon is constantly emitted through the earth. So you shoulud be more concerned about the quality of the air in your house, then EMF.

[rjnovac]

Nikola and yes.

:)

[fusionfreq]

if your a man keep your phone away from your testicles.

[masterOFpuppets06]

wifi and micro-radiation is all around us and they have been around us for awhile now. And as for Fox news....Fuck Fox!

[snerjeck]

You are right until you say Fuck Fox.

"The Mail also reported that the sperm of men with the highest cell usage showed a one-third drop in their ability to swim. Plus, they showed a 50 percent drop in the number of sperm that were correctly formed."

[AnduinX]

"The Daily Mail out of London reports: “Men who used a mobile for more than four hours a day had a 25 per cent lower sperm count than men who never used a mobile."

Simply put, use your head people. If you talk on a cell phone once in a blue moon is it going to hurt you? Probably not. If you talk on the thing for many hours a day while in an internet cafe hotspot will it...? Who knows.

[dietdictocrat]

i have only realised lately why i am so sensitive to these 3g, wifi technologies. i have found out i have low bone mineral density and anaemia, this means my immune system isn't strong enough to cope with the constant exposure to the penetrating microwaves which cause calcium leakage from cells. normal people can make up this daily loss of calcium but i have problems with my digestion so i cannot tolerate this new enviromental carcinogen.

[AnduinX]

Sorry to hear that, being extra-sensitive must be tough. Evidence is showing this stuff has a very real effect on everybody though, whether they realize it or not. It reminds me of cooking a frog. If you put the frog in a boiling pan he'll just jump right out. If you put the pot in a pan at room temperature and slowly crank up the heat it'll stay in until its cooked.

[AnduinX]

edit: frog in a pan, not pot in a pan

"Instead of producing charged ions when passing through matter, the electromagnetic radiation has sufficient energy only for excitation, the movement of an electron to a higher energy state. Nevertheless it is known to cause biological effects" -Wikipedia. This has many similarities to the old smoking debate. Back in the day people used to laugh at those who linked smoking to health problems.

[soniarv]

No soy ingeniera pero he estudiado comunicaciones y voy a investigar sobre el tema. Estoy de acuerdo en que a los niños no se les debe dar celulares, no sólo por esto sino también porque ese aparato les da demaciada independencia y pueden ser víctimas de alguien. Que bueno que hay gente que se preocupa por su salud antes que por la practicidad o la moda.

[aropeofsand]

Yeah Scare Tactics are AWESOME. We need more of those.

And more of that awesome wall paper.

[derjew]

frewuency does matter. A cell phone emits a few milliwatts of power. Bottom line is its not fuckin ionising radiation, it cant do shit at such low wattages.. I doubt we have technology to even detect an induced hot spot in the brain. Its all bullshit. People dont need to wake up becuase its not a threat. Nuclear radiation is a threat. May i also add that we are also being constantly bombarded by cosmic rays which can pass through several meters of concrete

[Tuskengod]

Indeed, most phones send out at a power of 600 milliwatts or 3 watts, even 3 watts is nothing to worry about.

If you have to worry about radiation, I'd worry about the gamma rays penetrating us every second.

[lukebaldan]

Yes i agree with you derjew, i hate people like this coming on youtube and speaking shit! It isn't ionizing radiation!!! I guess time will tell

[djd829]

You're talking about these "high frequencies". Do you know how microwaves are related to light? Directly. Light is a much much higher frequency than any microwave. Forget 8.0GHz(which comes to 8,000,000,000). Visible light ranges from 399 THz(terahertz) to 790 THz. That's 399,000,000,000,000 Hz. Do you have this illusion that, because you can see light, that it's less dangerous than microwaves?

[djd829]

Talk about not doing research! Look up what non-ionising means. "We have cordless phones that go all the way up to 8.0 gigahertz" First of all, if you're not talking about thermal heating, then there is nothing. Anyone with a high school education understands electromagnetism. Microwaves are NOT high frequencies. You are relating it to the audio spectrum, not electromagnetic.

[bballchick23]

I sooooo agree with this whole video!!

[dietdictocrat]

i can relate to what this guy is saying. a 3g phone mast was errected near my home. the radiation coming off it makes my throat ache and it also effects my stomach and sleep. this technology is getting stronger and more deadly. most people are living in denial of the dangers of wireless technology because they feel no symptoms as of yet.

[Tuskengod]

That might be because of the sheer power the 3G mast is using to transmit the signal, any electromagnetic radiation is dangerous when in ridiculously high powers. Durr. Also there is the possibility of you being stupid and you THINKING it's affecting you, when it indeed isn't.

[derjew]

its a placebo effect, or your seriously ill from a disease not related to low power microwave radiation

[AnduinX]

There are many people who feel sick only when in the presence of these things, there are people who get terrible headaches whenever they use cell phones. Who the hell are you to call dictocrat stupid and dismiss his claim? There has been no study on the long term effects of low radiation dosages and plenty of people coming forward with feeling ill effects.

[AnduinX]

Our current safety levels for radiation are based on an educated assumption which many scientists are beginning to doubt. "In animal studies, exposure to cell phone radiation for as little as two minutes is proven to have a damaging effect on the brain and blood vessels." w w w . radiationtalk . com /info / radiation_cancer.php

[Formlessness]

I think you are absolutely right, but there are solutions, and people aren't' going to stop using their cell hone or cut back on it so the best thing you can do is present solutions to MIMNINZE and eliminate the threat, and for people to voice the need for responsible placing of cell towers etc.

Hopefully people will wake up though, because just like people didn't' know cigarettes were bad..

[Formlessness]

There are solutions like using a quality phone with speaker phone so you aren't so close or spending the extra money to get a blue tooth headset with a blue tooth phone.. Platonic's 500 is the only one that works well soo far OR if you can't afford a nice cell phone go to Rfsafe DOT com for RF safe headsets. Wireless headset practically emit zero radiation .

[chocolatemaniac]

Perhaps we are a bit too worried. Thanks to stuff producing electromagnetic fields, we live longer and better.

Lots of natural much shorter and dangerous radiation is bombarding us 24/7.

I'd say pick up the cellphone or go sit inside a box of lead.

[breatheasy7000]

are you 16 mr chocolatemaniac because that is a 16 year old answer. We have never had direct micowave radiation exposure so close to our heads. To be ignorant of doing your research is being stupid. The natural and shorter(dont know what you mean) radiation bombarding us is not as close to our bodies as a cell phone. The natural radiation from the atmospherse is direct current and much lower frequency than that of our man-made gadgets.

[derjew]

i am 16 and i can tell your full of shit. Get your facts straight. its amazing how many people agree with you.There ignorance disgust me.

[Tuskengod]

You sir, are a complete moron.

These lower frequencies Chocolatemaniac is talking about are GAMMA RAYS, cosmic radiation. Please tell me, which would you prefer being close to: a 600 milliwatt 2,4 GHz transmitter or a 600 milliwatt gamma ray source?

[Tuskengod]

Right, thought so, these high frequencies aren't a threat to us, 600 milliwatts isn't a high amount, what you're freaked about is probably that the frequencies are in the microwave wavelength, it's just that microwave ovens use 800 WATTS to cook food, 600 milliwatts really is a tiny amount.

[jjk717]

Hey, are you that hot girl's BF? If so, you're the luckiest dork on the planet, lol!

[redbeast2]

our bodies absorb a small amount of that energy in the form of heat. I think the only danger is the heating effect since, as you mentioned, cell phones don't give off ionizing radiation. In other words radio waves, due to their long wavelengths, are less damaging than visible light which is less damaging than UV which is less damaging than X-rays and gamma radiation. The American Cancer Society has a pretty informative webpage about this topic.

[derjew]

(cont. comment)This means over 1 hour it uses 1.2 watts with only half going to the transmitter. probaly only 10% goes into the head. This means if my estimate is correct that only 60 milliwatts are being absorbed into your head. I dont know fi you guys know this but 60 milliwats is a tiny amount of energy. Its such a small amount i dont even know anything that can describe that in daily life.

[redbeast2]

Our bodies create electromagnetic frields continuously (every chemical reaction that takes place in us creates a burst of it). We're also bombarded with small electromagnetic fields in the form of electromagnetic radiation from Sun that penetrate our bodies. If you hold your hand up to the sun, or even a light bulb, you can see (or not see) light (and many unseen frequencies) go through. Radio/micro waves do the same but since their wavelengths are longer; they can simply go through us while
