“Radio waves from mobile phones do harm body cells and damage DNA, a laboratory study has shown.”

“Around 1.5 billion people around the world use mobile phones.”

“There is an ongoing debate over their safety, with fears over potential dangers linked to mobile phone masts and the handsets themselves.”

“….the report did recommend a precautionary approach and said children should only use mobile phones in emergencies.”

“….They found that, after being exposed to electromagnetic fields, the cells showed a significant increase in DNA damage which could not always be repaired by the cell.”

“Damage was also seen in the next generation of cells. Mutated cells are seen as a possible cause of cancer.”

“The study, which has not been published in a journal, also reported other harmful effects on cells.”

“The radiation used in the study was at Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) levels of between 0.3 and 2 watts per kilogram.”

“The SAR is the rate at which the body absorbs emissions from the phone handset.”

“Most phones emit radio signals at SAR levels of between 0.5 and 1 W/kg.”

“Mobile phones cannot be sold to unless they fall within the SAR of 2 watts per kg.”

“Franz Adlkofer, who led the Reflex study, said people should use landlines, rather than mobiles, wherever possible.”

….”We don’t want to create a panic, but it is good to take precautions.”
