President's Cancer Panel Makes Recommendations Regarding Cell Phones...
President's Cancer Panel Makes Recommendations Regarding Cell Phones...

The President’s Cancer Panel reported on Thursday, May 6, 2010 that “the true burden of
environmentally induced cancers has been grossly underestimated” and named cell phones and
other wireless technologies as potential causes of cancer that demand further research and
precaution.
In its recommendations to the President, the panel stated “Methods for long-term monitoring and
quantification of electromagnetic energy exposures related to cell phones and wireless
technologies are urgently needed given the escalating use of these devices by larger and younger
segments of the population and the higher radiofrequencies newer devices produce. “
In this article about the panel’s report from Environmental Health News (http://snurl.com/w1788) Dr.
Ted Schettler, Director of the Science and Environmental Health Network explains “Another
sensitive issue raised in the report was the risk of brain cancer from cell phones. Scientists are
divided on whether there is a link. Until more research is conducted, the panel recommended that
people reduce their usage by making fewer and shorter calls, using hands-free devices so that the
phone is not against the head and refraining from keeping a phone on a belt or in a pocket. Even if
cell phones raise the risk of cancer slightly, so many people are exposed that it could be a large
public health burden.”
