The first large-scale study to look at the connection between mobile phone use in pregnancy and later behavioral problems in children has overwhelmingly come back with a finding that such phone use places undeveloped babies at risk. Researchers...

GARDAI have not carried out any investigation into a possible link between a radio mast erected on a Dublin station and the high instances of cancer in the immediate area.

Locals living near Ronans-town Garda Station were under the impression that senior gardai had ordered an inquiry into potential links between the masts and the fact that nine officers based there have suffered brain cancer.

Is your home making you ill?

Many of us have filled our homes with hi-tech gadgets such as plasma-screen televisions, wi-fi and mobile phones.

But could these gizmos be damaging our health? There is growing evidence that household appliances are contributing to a debilitating condition called electrosensitivity.

Troy Knight says it started with a cluster of large, painful red swellings on the side of his temple. Later, he would get the feeling that his skin was burning, like sunburn, even when he hadn’t been outside. His face would itch and tingle, and his skin would break out in blisters. It was alarming, but at first there seemed no obvious cause. And then he noticed something odd: every time he stopped using his computer for a day or two, the symptoms started to clear up.

CHENNAI: Set a bird song as your mobile ringtone. For that may soon be the only way you get to hear from our winged friends —studies show that the increasing number of cell phone towers in cities is bringing down bird population.

While studies in Spain and Belgium have established the ill-effects of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emitted by cell phone masts on birds, a study to be published next month by a team in Panjab University has found that EMR can damage bird eggs and embryos. The study, conducted in Chandigarh, is applicable to all Indian cities where cell phone masts are proliferating. Chennai has 4,000 cell phone towers, compared to about 200 in Chandigarh.

Researchers at the Salim Ali Centre for Ornithology and Natural History, Coimbatore, say there are enough reasons to attribute bird mortality to such radiation. “Cell phones and towers emit a very low frequency of 900 or 1,800 MHz, called microwaves. Studies have found that they can cause thin skulls of chicks and thin egg shells,” says Dhanya R, a researcher at SACON.

Is this programme supposed to be serious or a joke? If serious then either budget cuts must have allowed for little time to do any proper research or this is just more spin put out by the BBC in the wake of the reports mainly in the print media on the latest research showing a 5 times increased risk of brain tumours for mobile phone users who started under 20 years old, ie children.

To quote from a meta analysis of ALL the brain tumour research to that point (2007)

http://oem.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/64/9/626

We conclude that results from present studies on use of mobile phones for =10 years give a consistent pattern of an increased risk for acoustic neuroma and glioma. The risk is highest for ipsilateral exposure.

The Danish study had many methodological errors as detailed below.

It is always interesting to see which sections of the media choose to report the findings of which studies. It is easy to see which side they are on! People are left to have to do the research for themselves.
.........

'The Danish cohort study on mobile phone subscribers was updated with follow-up through 2002 for cancer incidence. As previously, 200 000 (32%) company subscribers were excluded and apparently instead included in the population-based comparison group. The expected numbers were based on the general population. However, a large part of the population does use mobile phones and/or cordless phones, the latter use not assessed at all in the study. There was no truly unexposed group for comparison. Of the subscribers, 85% were men and 15% were women, thus giving a very skewed sex distribution.

There seemed to be a "healthy worker" effect in the study, as SIR was significantly decreased to 0.95 (95% CI 0.9 to 0.97) for all cancers. In the group with >=10 years since first subscription, significantly decreased SIR of 0.7 (0.4 to 0.95) was found for brain and nervous system tumours indicating methodological problems in the study. Temporal glioma yielded SIR = 1.2 (0.9 to 1.6). This finding was based on 54 people. No latency data were given or laterality of phone use in relation to tumour localisation in the brain.'

Mercury release from dental amalgam restorations after magnetic resonance imaging and following mobile phone use.

In the 1st phase of this study, thirty patients were investigated. Five milliliter stimulated saliva was collected just before and after MRI. The magnetic flux density was 0.23 T and the duration of exposure of patients to magnetic field was 30 minutes. In the 2nd phase, fourteen female healthy University students who had not used mobile phones before the study and did not have any previous amalgam restorations were investigated. Dental amalgam restoration was performed for all 14 students. Their urine samples were collected before amalgam restoration and at days 1, 2, 3 and 4 after restoration. The mean +/- SD saliva Hg concentrations of the patients before and after MRI were 8.6 +/- 3.0 and 11.3 +/- 5.3 microg L(-1), respectively (p < 0.01). A statistical significant (p < 0.05) higher concentration was observed in the students used mobile phone. The mean +/- SE urinary Hg concentrations of the students who used mobile phones were 2.43 +/- 0.25, 2.71 +/- 0.27, 3.79 +/- 0.25, 4.8 +/- 0.27 and 4.5 +/- 0.32 microg L(-1) before the amalgam restoration and at days 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. Whereas the respective Hg concentrations in the controls, were 2.07 +/- 0.22, 2.34 +/- 0.30, 2.51 +/- 0.25, 2.66 +/- 0.24 and 2.76 +/- 0.32 microg L(-1). It appears that MRI and microwave radiation emitted from mobile phones significantly release mercury from dental amalgam restoration. Further research is needed to clarify whether other common sources of electromagnetic field exposure may cause alterations in dental amalgam and accelerate the release of mercury.

This is extremely interesting and completely in line with the fundamental studies by the Swedish team of Per Högstedt and Thomas Örtendahl!

Ortendahl TW, Hogstedt P, Holland RP, "Mercury vapor release from dental amalgam in vitro caused by magnetic fields generated by CRT's and electrical cutting procedures", Swed Dent J 1991, p 31, abstract 22

I have tried for years and years to get money to repeat their studies and to expand them to mobile phone use - so I am very happy to see it finally to get momentum!
