John, your right on target. There is good science and bad science and we should step back and let the good scientists do their job. There is too much speculation in this to be good science.

My EE grad studies were in Biomed Effects of EM Waves. Short answer (so far) is that if it doesn't raise the cell temperature, it won't do any harm to the cell. The other side issues - Russian limits (they spoke about incident field strength, not absorbed power, I thought), power line/substation illness (did not separate out PCB, etc. contaminations) and cell resonant frequencies (cell dimensions and f sub R were far removed from frequencies of interest, especially 50-60 Hz) make for good techno-babble, but need to be isolated and examined before declaring them 'a smoking gun'. As for any big business/government cover-up or conspiracy - well, psychos DO stalk paranoids every now and then... ;-) John Linstrom Computer Dynamics PH 864.281.7768 x266 FX 864.675.0106 [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [ mailto:[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> ] Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 1999 6:46 AM To: Rich Nute Cc: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: Cell Phone Hazards?
See also a report on a double-blind study carried out in Bristol, UK: http://www.bris.ac.uk/Depts/Info-Office/news/archive/phone.htm <http://www.bris.ac.uk/Depts/Info-Office/news/archive/phone.htm> Some effects were observed but the author Dr Alan Preece cannot confirm any damage is caused. However he told me that he only ever uses his own mobile phone for a minute or two!....
