the part that is 2-3mm from your ear is a speaker. the radiation devise is housed elsewhere in the box. you are attempting to determine the distance of the mechanical device, which has nothing to do with electric radiation. I would presume the electronic portion of the blutooth device is much

IIRC, the em wave has a spherical wave front but that is the surface of a sphere not the volume, so the square law applies. If it did fall off at a cubic rate there would might be more cause concern because you the wave energy at the transmitter would be much more intense to reach the target

Also, my own bluetooth headphones are almost always simply *receiving*. They only transmit when I change a track or am in a call talking. Sorry, but compared to the very real danger of say, driving to the grocery store, I can't get too upset about radio waves. On Dec 2, 2007 8:13 AM, Paul Meyer

Tom, respectfully a UofPittsburgh professor of Public Health is not a crank, and her claims and arguments were quite reasonable when interviewed on NPR. I know plenty of professors who are cranks. In fact, I suspect the proportion of professors who are cranks is higher than it is in the

If anyone listened to the public health academic who wrote The Secret History of the War On Cancer some of the most quoted studies done on cell phone radiation have severe methodological flaws and even if they were good might been inadequate for assessing the brain cancer risk 20 or 30 years

I did hear her on a few show while on her book tour and noted her concern about the potential harm from cell phones and about the research on this to date. Re. bluetooth, is it definitely the case that it gives off much less radiation than cellphones? Even if so I wonder about the effect of

I have often wondered if those people who wander around yakking on their cellphones in the middle of stores, traffic, etc. were mindless idiots before they stuck those things in their heads, or did they become babbling fools afterwards. (When people near me start talking out loud, I make it a
