EWGs comprehensive, 10-month science evaluation of the hazards of cell phone
radiation includes data from more than 200 peer-reviewed studies, government
advisories, and industry documents, to provide you with the latest information on cell
phone safety.
There is some good news. Both teams found that anti-inflammatory drugs restored the
growth of new neurons in injured rats.
The Stanford team used indomethacin, an anti-inflammatory usually prescribed to relieve
the pain and swelling caused by arthritis, gout and other conditions. The drug might be
used to help restore neuron growth in the human brain.
Before that happens, however, researchers need to know how to block only harmful
inflammation. Some inflammation, which occurs when cells respond to an injury such as
radiation or a stroke, is important in destroying brain tumors.
Palmer is cautiously optimistic that further research may show that an anti-inflammatory
drug given at the right time during radiation therapy could benefit patients and improve
their quality of life after therapy. Diminishing or preventing the damage could be as
simple as taking a pill twice a day at specific times during the treatment, he says.
The research is published today online in the journal Science. Another member of the
Stanford study, Michelle L. Monje, recently presented the findings at the 2003 Society
for Neuroscience meeting in New Orleans.
There is a great deal of interest from both parents and the doctors who treat childhood
cancer patients to find a solution to this devastating problem, Monje says.
Indomethacin is a prescription drug closely related to ibuprofen, which, like
aspirin, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Collaborators of the
Stanford team are testing a variety of NSAIDs to see which one might work best
in a clinical setting.
The Swedish study, which appeared online in Proceedings of the National Academy of
Sciences a few weeks ago, involved minocyline, an antibiotic that has anti-inflammatory
properties.
The studies together, says Lindvall, suggest a link between inflammation and the
suppression of new neurons that may contribute to cognitive decline in people with brain
diseases. The challenge now is to determine the degree to which the loss of new neurons
in the brain contributes to cognitive problems.
The researchers hope in the coming years to find ways to improve the brain's response to
injury. This will almost certainly require learning more about stem cellsthe cells that
generate new neuronsand how they behave in the presence of inflammation.

Researchers are divided on whether radiation from cellphones pose health risks or not.
Now, one nonprofit organization adds some hard data to the argument: the radiation
emission profiles of more than 1,200 cell phone models. The data wont resolve the
debate, but does give concrete information to consumers to help them make their buying
decisions.
American cellphone radiation standards dont make enough of an allowance for safety
and ignore the impact of electromagnetic radiation on children, says the Environmental
Working Group, which analyzed the radiation emissions from 1,268 cellphones. The
group also looked at a number of recent research studies and supporting documentation
from the handset makers to arrive at its conclusions.
We think that based on current standards theres increased risk of developing brain
tumors in long term users people who have used cellphones for more than 10 years
from radiation in cellphones, says Olga Naidenko, a senior scientist at EWG, who
worked on the report for about 10 months.
The group has created a database of feature phones and smartphones that lists the
maximum radiation each of the devices emits. (You can look up your phones radiation
level using the form embedded in this story, below.)
We want consumers to take steps they can take to minimize potential risks, says
Naidenko.
About 4 billion people worldwide use cellphones. Researchers have been debating for
years on whether the radiation from cellphone use leads to health hazards such as cancer
and other illnesses. Perhaps, in no greater proof of how hot the debate is, infomercial
peddlers such as Kevin Trudeau and television doctors such as Andrew Weil have
declared that cellphone use are one of the risk factors for brain cancer.
More scientific studies have tried to assess both short term and long term impact of
cellphone usage. Yet there has been no conclusive evidence so far. Thats because earlier
research studies didnt have a pool of users available who had been on their cellphones
long enough, says Naidenko.
A lot of the studies that came out in 2000 and 2001 only looked at short term exposure,
which is about four to five years and they didnt see any risks from radiation, she says.
But now that we see results from long term studies, we are seeing more evidence to the
contrary.
Still Naidenko says the EWGs data doesnt conclusively prove a link between cellphone
radiation and health risks.
Henry Lai, a professor of bioengineering at the University of Washington who has
researched the issue in the past, reviewed EWGs report and says the group is on the right
track.
Theres no solid conclusion right now on whether cellphone use leads to increased
health risk, he says. But all the data shows cause of concern, and thats very well
brought out in the report.
Cellphone radiation is transmitted by the antenna and the circuitry inside the handset by
sending out electromagnetic waves (radio frequency radiation) to transmit their signal.
The radiation emitted by the antenna is not directional, which means that it propagates in
all directions more or less equally. Factors such as the type of digital signal coding in the
network, the antenna design and its position relative to the head determine how much
radiation is absorbed by a user, says EWG.
Other household appliances, such as microwave ovens, emit radiation, but no other
device is in such close contact with the human body as a cellphone. You dont put your
head inside the microwave, says Lai. And unless you are standing very, very close to it,
the radiation from microwaves is very low.
The Federal Communications Commission sets the acceptable U.S. radiation standards
for cellphones. The effects of the radiation depend on the rate at which energy is
absorbed by a mass of tissue. This is called as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) and
measured in watts per kilogram (W/kg). Most handset makers use private certification
companies to test the SAR on their devices.
Based on a recommendation from industry group, IEEE, the FCC limits SAR levels for
partial-body exposure (including head) to up to 1.6 W/kg, and whole body exposure to up
to 0.08 W/kg. For hands, wrists, feet, and ankles, the limit is up to 4 W/kg, averaged over
10 grams of tissue.
In general, the lower the SAR the better the phone, from a potential health hazard point of
view. For instance, Apples iPhone 3G has a maximum SAR of 1.39 W/kg when held at
the ear. Compare that to the 1.19 W/kg SAR for the iPhone 3G S.
The best phone on EWGs list, the Samsung Impression, has a maximum radiation of just
0.35 W/kg.
But FCCs current standards are inadequate, says EWG. FCC standards allow 20 times
more radiation to reach the head than the rest of the body, says an EWG
representative, and they dont provide an adequate margin of safety for cell phone
radiation exposure.
The FCC limit for the head (SAR of 1.6 W/kg) is just two-and-a-half times lower than
the level that caused behavioral changes in animals (SAR of 4 W/kg), says the
representative. Thus, the brain receives a high exposure, even though the brain may well
be one of the most sensitive parts of human body and should have more protection.
Theres also just one one standard for general population exposure which is same for
adults and children. The FCC also does not have strict enforcement against violators,
alleges EWG.
The U.S. government is not paying enough attention to this health problem, agrees Lai.
But policy makers in Washington D.C. are starting to take notice. Experts will present
evidence at a conference in mid-September, arguing for and against the impact of
radiation from cellphones on health, and its implications for public policy. But no
cellphone companies or handset makers are expected to be present. Independent of the
conference, Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pennsylvania) is expected to chair a Sept. 14
congressional hearing on cellphones.
Still EWGs research is just the beginning, says Lai. It is a not a scientific paper and
there are mistakes with over-interpretation and bias in use of some of the literature to
support their conclusions, he says. But it does serve the purpose of raising awareness of
the problems stemming from cellphone use.
"It has been suggested that radio frequency irradiation may stimulate extra growth
among supportive cells in the nerve system, which in the worst case it has been
suggested could lead to a development of a malignant tumor," the Nokia patent
states. "Although the consequences described above have not been scientifically
verified, the uncertainty has some effects by reducing the speed of growth of the
market of radiophones."
Motorola, Ericsson and other handset manufacturers own similar patents, Suder said.
"Those patents aren't snake oil," she said. "They're from the defendants' mouths
themselves."
The cell-phone industry remains confident it will quash Suder's evidence in court.
Nowak dismissed the Nokia patent touted by Suder as a patent "on antenna efficiency,"
not a disease-fighting tool.
"The more efficiently the phone can work, the better" it is for the consumer, Nowak said.
While Nokia won't have its day in court next week -- it isn't one of the defendants of
Suder's lawsuit - it may face Suder's wrath in another lawsuit.
Next week, a judge will sift through scientific evidence provided by both Suder and the
cell-phone industry to determine whether Chris Newman, 41, got a brain tumor from
using a cellular phone. The defendants in that lawsuit are Motorola, Verizon
Communications, Bell Atlantic Corp., Bell Atlantic Mobile, SBC Communications, the
Telecommunication Industry Association, and Cellular Telecommunications and Internet
Association.
We at Environmental Working Group are still using our cell phones, but we also believe
that until scientists know much more about cell phone radiation, its smart for consumers
to buy phones with the lowest emissions.
The U.S. government ought to require cell phone companies to label their products
radiation output so that consumers can do the numbers at the point of sale.
It doesnt, so EWG has created this user-friendly interactive online guide to cell phone
emissions, covering over 1,000 phones currently on the market.

Easy Ways to
Take Action
Are cell phones safe? Many research groups around the world are working to find out. Your cell phone
emits radiation to send voi ce and text messages from you to the other caller. Some (not all) studies of
frequent cell-phone users suggest this radiation may increase risks for can cer or children's behavior
problems. Use this guide to find your phone and safer, low-radiation choices. [more tips]
