Today from the Environmental Working Group:
Have you ever wondered if the cell phones that we all depend on emit radiation and are safe to use?
At EWG, we did wonder and undertook a 10-month research review to understand the risks -- and our research is receiving a lot of attention. Turns out, cell phones do emit radiation -- enough so that scientists are concerned about potential cancer risks. We'd like to believe that cell phone radiation is safe, but no one can say for sure. Much more research is crucial for scientists to reach a conclusion.
Make no mistake -- at EWG, we are still using our cell phones. But we believe that until scientists know much more about cell phone radiation, it's smart for consumers to buy phones with lower radiation emissions. As a result, we have put together the most comprehensive online consumer guide to cell phone radiation, rating more than 1,000 cell phones marketed in the U.S. In our Cell Phone Radiation Guide you will be able to:
Response to our guide has been overwhelming. EWG has been featured in news articles -- from The New York Times to USA Today -- on TV -- NBC, ABC, MSN, and more -- and online. See the guide that is creating all the buzz for yourself!
Sincerely,
Ken Cook
President, Environmental Working Group
Some cell phones emit several times more radiation than others, the Environmental Working Group found in one of the most exhaustive studies of its kind.
