MOLECULAR BIOLOGY ASSOCIATED WITH RADIATION FIELDS OF MOBILE TELEPHONES by Dr W. Ross Adey [1999] Radio engineering technology over the past decade has created new options in personal communication devices and systems. In addition to extremely- low-frequency (ELF) electric power fields, millions of mobile phone users are now also exposed daily to radio-frequency fields under near-field conditions. We may expect that these newly evolved behavioral patterns will be lifelong, and there are important biomedical considerations associated with long term exposure to any environmental factor capable of tissue interactions. This is an overview of the current state of the research to mid-1999 See Overview Ross Adey Index of papers Papers and abstracts from Dr W Ross Adey of the University of California, Riverside. |

Material Covering Cell Phone Hazards - Australia Index of Independent Research Abstracts Independent research on problems of cellphones and health, not funded by Motorola. Index of Motorola-funded Abstracts Research on problems of cellphones and health, funded by Motorola. Index of Abstracts Independent research on problems of cellphones and health, not funded by Motorola. Dr George Carlo's Letter The October 1999 letter written by Dr George Carlo to the Chairman and CEO of AT&T asking him to shake up the cellphone industry, and recognise the potential dangers shown by the current research. The Carlo Conversion Index Some background, and a number of letters written by the CTIA and Carlo. FDA agreement with the CTIA This is the new FDA-CTIA initial contract for research. Letter of Agreement and Terms of Agreement. Prof. John Moulder's site. A systematic critique and commentary on the claims made by Professor Moulder at his pro-radiation site. Lai-Singh Index of papers Papers and abstracts from Dr Henry Lai and Narendra Singh of the University of Washington, Seattle. The Adelaide Hospital Study This was a major report from Adelaide Hospital in Australia, which established a clear link between pulsed GSM phone handset radiation levels, and tumour promotion in genetically-engineered mice. The importance of this study is that it kills, once and for all, the old "Thermal Only" claims. It is also often called the "Repacholi Study". Similar findings from other research. The Adelaide Hospital study findings were not an isolated instance. There have been dozens of findings over the years which have indicated similar links with DNA and potential cancer problems. The State of US and European Research A general overview of what has been happening, and how the research priorities, directions, and funding have been manipulated by the cell phone associations, and government authorities. In particular, the CTIA through the WTR. Australian Research Priorities Originally this was a submission to the Australian government. It deals with what we know, and why we know so little. It has Australian material, together with some reference to the state of research control and funding today worldwide -- in particular, in the USA and in Europe with the WHO. Electronics Australia columns This is a series of articles on aspects of the research into cellphone health issues. It was written for the electronics technicians who read technical magazines. Abstract: de Pomerai's recent study on EMF exposed nematode worms (Nottingham University), and some explanatory material on the use of transgenic animals. Chronology of Research A Collection of some key findings in chronological order. Don Maisch's EMFacts site Don Maisch is an activist in the area of cellphones and health, and he tempers his activism with good common senses. This has some good material and also some links to other activist sites. Powerwatch The site of Alisdair Phillips, who probably knows more about this stuff than anyone else in the UK Mechanisms An overview of some ideas being tossed around about possible mechanisms. |
