Hands Free Cell Phone Use May Triple Risks
A Protection Solution?
by Fintan Dunne The problem with wired headsets for mobiles is that the wire can
conduit up to three times the radiation -right into your ear! Mobile phones can be fitted with headsets which have a range of around
30 feet. The RF energy used to communicate with the phone is
substantially less than the phone's microwave energy. You can buy
adapters that let you use a headset with a non-Bluetooth phone. Bluetooth networking communicates on a frequency of 2.45 gigahertz.
The same radio-frequency band as baby monitors, garage-door openers
and the new generation of cordless phones. Bluetooth devices send out
very weak signals of about 1 milliwatt. By comparison, the most powerful
cell phones can transmit a signal of 3 watts. The low power limits the
range of a Bluetooth device to about 10 meters (32 feet).

Lai, Henry, “Neurological Effects of Radio frequency Electromagnetic Radiation” a paper presented by at the Mobile Phones and Health Symposium, Oct. 25-28, 1998, University of Vienna, Austria. A study done at Penn State University concluded that EMF exposure produced no effect for the “first few minutes, . . . then a cascade of microbial destruction occurs.”

Earpieces act almost like “conduits” to funnel as much as three times the harmful radiation to your brain. Hands Free Phone May Triple Risks HANDS-FREE mobile phone kits are tripling levels of radiation to the brain, research has found. Thousands of people have bought the kits believing that they reduce the risk of cancerous brain tumours. The findings are being studied as part of the Health Department investigation into mobile phone safety, chaired by sir William Stewart, former Chief Scientific Adviser to the Government. The results emerged in tests on two hands-free devices conducted for the consumers' magazine Which? The kits tested were on two popular mobile phones: an accessory designed for the Philips Savvy mobile phone sold at BT Cellnet and an earpiece for the Eriksson A101-8S sold at Carphone Warehouse. The tests found that the hands-free sets acted as aerials, channelling three times as much radiation from the phones to the brain as did ordinary mobile phones, and did not offer health protection. Graeme Jacobs, editor of Which?, warned mobile phone users last night not to rely on the devices to reduce radiation levels. "The two models we tested triple the radiation to your brain, though we still don's know for certain whether that radiation is harmful," he said.
London Times, “Hands Free Phone May Triple Risks”, April 4, 2000. "The results took us by surprise-by the time we discovered them it was too late to test more kits," the report says. "But looking at several other kits, our experts thought they would also conduct the radiation." Jean Philips of consumer watchdog Powerwatch, an organisation that gives advice on electromagnetic fields, said: "Anyone who uses a phone extensively runs a risk of averse health effects. We estimate that 10 per cent of the population may be at risk of milder effects such as headaches and loss of concentration." The report also warned that the 35,000 mobile phone masts across the UK could pose a significant health risk. " People who live or work near transmitter masts may also have legitimate health worries," it says.
Daily Express, 4th April 2000 Hands-Free Mobile Phones May Increase Radiation Exposure Mercola.com 26 Nov, 2000 Contrary to previous assumptions, hands-free mobile phone kits can significantly boost the brain's exposure to radiation, according to new research conducted by British consumer research magazine Which? One reason that the government's tests did not show this increased exposure is that they used only one position which did not allow the wire to hang straight down, Which? said. Which? said it was impossible to recommend a "safe" position for holding a phone. Both short and long distances between the aerial and the earpiece produced increased emissions, with only a short length in the middle generating lower emissions than conventional mobile phone calls. http://www.mercola.com/2000/nov/26/mobile_phones.htm Technically Speaking: Electromagnetic waves are a flux or field generated by an RF source and transferred into the atmosphere. This field has two components, called the electric and magnetic field. These two components are normally phased 90 degrees from each other in a plane wave condition. This wave can be classified as infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays and ¥ãrays depending upon the wave's length. The speed of the wave is the same as invisible light speed (3 x 10 8 m/x) within the vacuum condition but it is rather slower within the medium. Maxwell demonstrated this theoretically at first, and then Hertz characterised and measured the electromagnetic wave. Finally, Marconi applied it to Radio Communication. The flux or energy departing axially or energy departing axially from a conductor is to be called the electric field. The electric field without charge movement is defined as constant electric field. At the same time, the energy that departs concentrically or goes off phase from the above vectors is to be called the magnetic field. The electric and magnetic fields generated at very low frequency (VLF) induce very low energy into relatively small objects when they are irradiated. The electric field can easily be shielded due to its characteristics but the magnetic field is more difficult. The magnetic field is therefore more likely to be absorbed by the living tissue, making it more harmful to the human body. How harmful depends on the intensity and frequency of the wave or field.
the administration indicated that the reason for removing Section 2 from the bill was because of concerns that the bill put CT at risk for being sued based on the outlandish and outdated concept that GMO labeling would be unconstitutional and violate the merchants' right to remain silent and not disclose what products contain GMOs.
