UV radiation is ionizing, although not as strongly as x-rays or gamma rays. Visible light is somewhat ionizing IIRC. Ionizing means that the photons have enough energy to kick an electron off an atom, which can break up molecules. Microwaves just shake the atoms and heat them up a tiny bit. There's no actual damage.
Yes but the problem is theres too many damn people addicted to cellphones that have them in their ear or in their hand 24/7 I read an article by a scientist a few years ago...that said many studies have shown cellphones to be harmful and they were either bought or squashed or attacked...he said in the future cellphones will have harmed many people before the truth is allowed to get out...theres too much damn money in it....I BELIEVED IT...and I still do
What do you think, are Cell Phones carcinogenic or not
What do you think, are Cell Phones carcinogenic or not, please vote and explain your choice. It would be good if you share some additional information or probably important links because almost everywhere in the world the amount of brain cancers is increasing since the last twenty years.
Additional question:
Should the prices for Mobil calls fall down because of cancer risk?
Cell Phones Are Possibly Carcinogenic Say WHO Cancer Experts

New Study Says No Link Between Cell Phones and Brain Cancer - - TIME Healthland
In a new paper in the American Journal of Epidemiology researchers looked at data from more than 2.8 million Danish adults, and found that those who had used a cell phone for 11 to 15 years were no more likely than new users or non-users to develop acoustic neuromas — a kind of brain tumor that develops near the ear, where cell phones would be used.
If you carry the phone in your back pocket (like I do often) what cancer do you think you're gonna get? :mrgreen:
I remember when sitting to close to a new fangled color TV would give you cancer and we were putting the earth into an ice age with our cars and factory's, yaaaawn.
I carry mine in my front pocket… that can’t be good.
People live longer now than when the TV was introduced to the mass market, so TV watching makes you healthier. Also, I thought “they” decided the ice age predicted in the 1970’s was going to be caused by global warming… :doh
I believe cancer is up mostly because detection of cancer is up. And, I believe that someone else’s cell phone is more likely to kill me than my own.
It seems sort of strange to me that certain areas/places have "no cell phone zones", because there is sensitive equipment in those areas that will be affected by the radio waves generated by the cell phones. A simple example of influence might be: Have you ever heard the TV speaker stuttering when the cell phone is about to ring or maybe notice the microphone at podium buzzing because the person speaking has a cell phone on their person? It's funny how something as simple as a section of copper wire can be influenced by a cell phone yet something as complex as the human brain or body can't be. So in other words don't carry/use that cell phone near sophisticated electronics that may be harmed but go ahead and place that sucker against your skull because we all know there is nothing to sophisticated in there. Use them like there is no tomorrow but don't forget to turn that device off when you are on a airplane because those planes are really really important in comparison to you.
Some people might be under the impression that cell phones are only transmitting and receiving when there is a conversation or text taking place, they seem unaware that those devices do and will transmit even while not being used(so long as they are powered on). How else do we think the wireless network knows where their phone is when trying to make it ring, the network is not sending out a ring signal to every tower in the country looking for you, they already know your general location based on what that cell phone has been transmitting while you weren't using it.
When driving I place my phone on the passenger seat or as far away from me as practically possible and I would advise parents not to give their toddlers phones and a pacifier under any circumstances.
I am not quite ready to sport a tin foil hat but I am quite cautious about where, when and how my cell phone gets used/stored.
Let me explain this to you simply and clearly: Your brain is not made out of metal. It's incapable of interacting with radio waves. Sticking a magnet on your head isn't bad for it, either. Try that with a computer.
The brain is 4/5ths water. it'll probably boil and explode.Maybe as an experiment we could place your brain in a microwave ?
