It’s not an elevanted risk of radiation-triggered disease that I find worrying. It’s our lack of knowledge (“our” meaning the scientific community rather than me) about the effect of human-generated electromagnetic radiation.

There’s evidence suggesting that EM radiation (phones, WiFi, etc.) is starting to affect the migration patterns and general behaviour of birds, for example. And since humans are part of the ecosystem and also have electrical activity going through their bodies…..how is it affecting us?

The most important electrical activity in our bodies is in our brain. So holding an EM-generating device next to our brains *could* be detrimental to our health. That’s the worry.

But the jury’s out right now. 🙂

Even if the surveys about mobile phone safety are true – your risk of a certain type of rare cancer being raised by 50% – that’s still only 15 in every 1,000,000 people, rather than 10 in every 1,000,000 people.

You’re more likely to win the lottery than get cancer from your mobile phone. Seriously.
