Not the biggest fan of wired, but I'll bite.

Here's what bugs me: electromagnetic radiation is pretty well known for causing cancer. Gamma waves (long-wave radiation) obviously causes cancer or death rather quickly. UV light (short wave radiation) is well documented as a cause of skin cancers over long periods. I cant figure out why mid-length waves wouldn't cause cancers in the mid-term.

There is obviously dosage to consider here, but the wavelengths used by cellular devices most certain can cause problem in the right amounts. The real question that needs to be asked is: 'what duration and amplitude of radio waves are needed to cause a statistical change in cancer rates.'

Radio waves are at the opposite side of the spectrum. EM SPECTRUM .

They don't contain a lot of energy.

I follow, but my point is that there is a 'direct relationship' between EM wavelength and exposure time needed to damage to human biology. Doesn't that trend suggest that it would simply take longer exposure short wave radiation to cause problems? I've seen studies that suggest almost all wavelengths of EMR are dangerous in the right 'flux density.'

5332048?

Why did they give rats cancer instead of studying humans who will voluntary do that experiment but with exactly the amount of radiation a phone gives off (not a "similar" amount)?
