Brain Cancer Worries? Look Up Your Phone's SAR

CWmike writes "With recent news of a possible link between cell phone radiation and risk of brain cancer, you may have a new-found interest in knowing how much radiation your mobile handset is giving off — or, more importantly, how much your body might be absorbing. The FCC's legal limit for mobile phones is 1.6 Watts of radiofrequency energy per kilogram, using a measure called Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The Environmental Working Group, which tracks SAR data for more than 1,300 cell phone and smartphone models, notes that several factors besides your handset affect your actual level of exposure. Look up your phone's SAR; or see a full chart of phones." And relax — have a coffee.

  1. Cell Phones INDUCE cancer, here's how. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    1 Minute of every Cell Phone conversation is equivalent to 1 X-Ray. The electro-magnetic inductance inhibits the oxygen-transport and Immun System response in the effected area where is influenced by the Cell Phone radio propogation. Given the nature that Cancer is a fungus, it can only spread and live in a acidic environment and thereby an oxygen-depleted location such as wherever a Cell Phone is being held. Everyone has cancer naturally, and the body is constantly trying to re-calibrate the Immune System to detect that invading fungus; all cancers try like parasites to reduce the bodily rate of immuno response by releasing neurotoxins and integrate with the nervoise system to mimic itself as part of the host , yet likewise when the body is impugned in any way is when the cancer gets out of control and spreads: this is whta a Cell Phone INDUCES, not causes.

    PS: I have ARRL Ham Radio friends that all have cancer on the back of their Mic-weilding left hands and on their listening ears, yet their equipment was always tx'ing far away from their body because they knew all along that VHF and such can INDUCE cancers but what they didn't realize was that the effects can carry all the way to the Mic by inductance, SO BE YE WARNED that there is no real way to isolate yourself other than go back to the non-cancerous CB Radio!

    Seems to work pretty well for global warming. Why wouldn't it work well for cell phones? Same BS science, same faulty methodology. Oh I'm sure I'll be modded into oblivion now, but whatever.
