The word radiation is often thought of as referring to the emanations from radioactive material and x-rays. However when scientists use the word radiation they are usually referring to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) which can be emitted from such sources as radio cell phones, TV transmissions, light from the sun as well as x-ray machines. Electromagnetic […]

Understanding Radio Frequency Wave Interference
Radio Frequency Wave Interference A natural/balanced approach for safety The below images depict Interference of visible RF waves “light”. Cell phones use non-visible RF waves “Microwaves”. The only difference between visible light waves and microwaves are their wavelengths. Microwaves used for cell phone communication have a much longer wavelength making them easy to control interference […]
Radio Frequency Safe Glossary of Terms
The descriptions below are intended to help the reader understand the text; they are not necessarily definitive scientific terms, for which the reader is advised to consult more sources. Analogue The original cellular technology used in the transmission of speech by Vodafone and Cellnet since 1985, operating as an analogue system at 900 MHz. Typically […]
Cell Phones Increase RF Radiation Output Inside Of Vehicles – Faraday Effect
Vehicular Faraday Effect Increased RF radiation inside a vehicle Because most vehicles have metal roofs and, for the most part, come with factory tinted glass, your vehicle can act as a Faraday cage and concentrating reflector. This allows your vehicle to amplify RF wave density just like a microwave oven, without allowing the RF radiation […]
Brain Damage
Brain Damage Red Herring Journalist: Niall McKay October, 2000 That driver with the cell phone may not be paying attention – or maybe it’s a tumor. Since the first yuppies held brick-size cell phones to their ears, the question has loomed. Do cell phones cause brain damage to the 200 million people who use them? […]

Can Cell Phones Cause Cancer ? IEEE Spectrum By Kenneth R. Foster, University of Pennsylvania & John E. Moulder, Medical College of Wisconsin August, 2000 A driver using a wireless telephone might be worried about having an accident, even while being reassured that if one were to happen, he or she could call for help. […]
Cell Phones May Damage Nerves In The Scalp
Cell Phones May Damage Nerves In The Scalp Reuters Journalist: Amy Norton August 15, 2000 As cellular phones become ubiquitous, their status as a possible health threat–either as a distraction to drivers or a potential cause of brain tumors–is gaining more attention. Now, investigators say there is evidence that cell phones may damage nerves in […]
Cell Phones: We Need More Testing
Cell Phones: We Need More Testing Business Week Journalist: Norm Alster August 14, 2000 Back in the early 1980s, there were 35 researchers at the Environmental Protection Agency exploring the biological effects of radiation from cell phones and other devices. But by 1987, budget cuts had shut the program down. Since then, the Federal Communications […]
Cell Phone Health Studies Continue
Cell Phone Health Studies Continue Medill News Service Journalist: Katherine Hunt August 11, 2000 It’s too soon to say whether radio frequency emissions from cellular phones cause adverse health effects, including brain cancer, say scientists at a recent Food and Drug Association conference. “The scientific community is in agreement that [prior] research [shows cell phones] […]
