In Cellular Telephone Russian Roulette,
author Robert Kane, a former top Motorola engineer, traces the history of cell
phone development (in which he was involved) and analyzes the cell phone
radiation bioeffects research base from 1950 to 1996.
Despite
industry’s claim to safety, Kane’s report shows that there was much more
information available indicating safety concerns than the
industry has ever acknowledged.
The
work includes a review of:
·
The
foundations of radiofrequency (RF) radiation research.
·
The
discoveries of “hot spots” in the brains of mobile
phone users and bioeffects from RF
exposure by the 1970’s.
·
The
industry’s influence on “safe exposure guidelines” in order to meet its own
product needs.
·
The ways research design can be manipulated
to bias the outcome of lab studies.
·
The red-herring requirement by industry that research must identify a single biological causation
mechanism for adverse health effects from RF exposure before science can say
there is proven harm.
·
The
emergence of a PR campaign to mask the risks of cell phone radiation to the
user.
This
book is jam-packed with information that will be of interest to those who have
already gained some familiarity with the RF radiation health issue and are not
put off by some of the technical terms used (megahertz, S.A.R., etc.).
