The Irvine Report

Your Cell Phones are Harmless.

I just read this article in the OC Weekly which cites a study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute by the Danish Cancer Society.  Pretty much, there is no link between cell phone waves and cancer.(What a surprise)  Additionally, UCI researchers have been saying the same thing for years.  This is a big deal because some vocal people are genuinely convinced that building cell phone towers is physically harmful to our health.

Back in March of ‘09, I attended an Irvine City Council hearing concerning the moratorium on cell phone towers in the city.  I for one struggle with reception and I have Verizon.  My friends with AT&T simply just don’t get reception.  I was horrified to find out that a lot of people were speaking about how they were afraid of cancer to the extent that one older lady even refused to have her disabled grandchild at her house because she feared radio-waves would kill him.

My argument concerning the Irvine Cell Tower debate is for another post, but I just want to say that no one should even think about claiming that cell towers cause physical ailments.
