Mobile phones blamed for sparrow deaths - Imelda O'Connor writes to Amnesty International, Irish Division (16/1/03)
No hanging up on the cellphone debate
From fuel-pump hazard to brain cancer culprit, cells take heat

It's convenient, indispensable, but just how safe is your cellphone?
Not very, if you believe a lot of what you read on the Internet. Cellphones are blamed for everything from brain cancer to sparking fires at the gas pump.
With 150 million cellphones users in North America alone, if, hypothetically, less than one percent of them developed a cancer from routinely placing a radio frequency (RF) transmitter against their heads, the numbers would be devastating.
Talk to George Carlo, an epidemiologist and co-author of Cellphones: Invisible Hazards in the Wireless Age, and you'll think twice before handling your cellphone in a cavalier manner. It's not his intention to scare you into not using your cellphone, he says, but there are red flags to be concerned about and people have a right to know all the facts to make an informed decision on whether or not to use a cellphone and how to use it as safely as possible.
Carlo rocked the wireless world in 1999 when he came out with a study on cellphones and health for the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association which suggested cellphone use increases the risk of tumours, cancer, genetic damage and other health problems. Four years later he is chairman of the nonprofit Science and Public Policy Institute in Washington, D.C. which runs an Internet registry site at www.health-concerns.org that contains a brief survey asking people about any ailments they believe are related to cellphone use.
