Kucinich to introduce bill for cell phone radiation research, warning label
Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH) said Wednesday that he will introduce a bill for a federal research program on the affects of cellphone radiation on users. The bill will also call for a warning label for mobile phones, as a growing body of research around the world indicate potential links between long-term use and cancer.
The bill comes after The Post’s report Tuesday outlining the growing controversy over cellphones and health. The story looks into the lobbying effort against bills across the country that would require warning and radiation data labels for cellphone retailers and San Francisco's move as the first place in the nation to require retailers to disclose radiation levels of the phones they sell.
“Some studies find links. Some don’t. But studies funded by the telecommunications industry are significantly less likely to find a link between cellphones and health effects. We need a first-class research program to give us answers,” Kucinich said in a statement. “Until we know for sure, a labeling law will ensure that cellphone users can decide for themselves the level of risk that they will accept”
Kucinich, who held a hearing on the topic in 2008, said much of the current research on cellphone radiation is being done outside the United States. Federal regulations on how much radiation devices can emit – such as the Specific Absorption Rate set by the Federal Communications Commission – are outdated.
His bill will call for a fresh look at regulatory standards on how much radiation a cellphone can emit. The FCC’s guidelines for SAR, an absorption limit set at 1.6 watts per kilogram of tissue, were determined in 1997 and were designed around testing for a male adult model. Those standards, according to some epidemiologists, do not take into account other affects of radiation on tissue and do not take into account the fastest-growing segment of cellphone users: children.
Kucinich cited the 13-nation Interphone study (the U.S. did not participate) that found that while there is no conclusive link that long-term cellphone users were more prone to cancer, the heaviest users could be more vulnerable.
“Consumers have a right to know whether they are buying the phone with the lowest – or the highest – level of exposure to cellphone radiation. They also deserve to have up-to-date standards, which are now decades old,” Kucinich said.
Kucinich said in an interview that he will introduce his bill when Congress resumes session in two weeks. He said he has several co-sponsors.
"There is a high degree of interest in this among my colleagues," he said.

Kucinich and the WAP are not scientists. The article mention 1.6 Watts per Kg human tissue. Your 2G/3G cell phone emits an average 0.25 watt from a single omni antenna. You don't get but a fraction of that 0.25W from that omni since it spits out 360 degrees horizontally, in the shape of a frisbee. You get more microwave radiation from microwave ovens, wifi hotspots, CCTV (baby TV), police and fire radio (emits much more to get thru walls), etc. The latest WiMax, WiFi, and LTE use 1 to 3 antennas (MIMO, pronounced mee mow) which even use less energy. The latest Japanese 4G has solid state 3D gyro antennas that use a fraction of what MIMO uses.
I am sorry but politicans runnig rampant around the country claiming phones cause cancer and some woman with a PH.D does not mean anything. We have seen this shit with AIDs denialism and autism. A few misguided PH.D's and a slew of politicans make claims which have not been proven. The delicate balance of science and society at work.
Dr. Davis holds a B.S. in physiological psychology and a M.A. in sociology from the University of Pittsburgh, 1967. She completed a Ph.D. in science studies at the University of Chicago as a Danforth Foundation Graduate Fellow, 1972 and a M.P.H. in epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins University as a Senior National Cancer Institute Post-Doctoral Fellow, 1982.
That noted, some of the statistics seem a bit skewed to her advantage. She clearly has an agenda. The irony is that the book spends it's time trying to show of the industry has twisted the science...
This is almost as absurd as the Measles/Autism link, which as proven, finally, to be fraudulent.
I went to U of Chicago. Granted it was many moons ago, but I don't remember such a thing as PhD in "Science Studies." And it's not listed on their website

Thank you for bestowing upon us the epitome of medical science.
There's nothing written in the King James Bible or Klansman's Manual about it so it must not be true.
A silverback gorilla with a flame-thrower would OWN a bear with a chainsaw. That's a killing machine.

What a gross generalization!!! I never twiddle my thumbs. When I sit idly by, my left hand is usually working the mouse or keyboard as the right hand works the joystick.
living causes cancer.
Here is the solution.
Just because it's published doesn't mean is passed review. As far as I know, it has NOT passed scientific review.

As an alum of the Foreign Service school myself, this is embarrassing and discredits an otherwise excellent school that has brought such luminaries as Albright, Kirkpatrick, Young and Tenent who are actually credible teachers and scholars. I suspect the Dean will not be inviting her to join faculty.
That's it. I'm going to stop carrying my phone around in my jeans pocket for a week. If that's enough to get me out of the post-nup shutoff club I'm throwing my phone out and breaking my wife's!
Yeah whatever...and childhood immunizations cause autism. I wish people like you would do something constructive with your time.
Helz yeah I'll take that phone. It's worth the risk. Just the internet capabilities warrant testicular cancer. BAM!!!
