I remember seeing a television show quite a while ago where researchers had
found an extremely high cancer rate in children in one neighborhood with a
power substation. The rate for adults, however, was normal.
One researcher said she believed that the higher rate for children might be
due to the fact that they were very active in running back and forth and
playing ball, etc. This caused them to cut through the magnetic fields at a
much higher rate than adults. This line of thought leads to the possibility
that there may be more to consider than just simple warming of tissue.

Subject: Re: Cell Phone Hazards?
Jon,
You are right. When we get in our cars we have some risk. By
the same token, when we are home the risk is still not zero. If we go
climbing the risk would go even higher. The point is we know what is the
risk and how to protect ourselves. But the risk related to cell phone is not
as clear as driving, climbing, and staying home.
