Cell and Portable Phones


Cellular and portable phones, though suddenly and seemingly indispensable in our society, are a direct product of the wireless industry's successful attempt to sell us speed, convenience and entertainment all in one seductive package. In the long term, biologically safe alternatives to wireless cell and portable DECT phones will become necessary, as already they are causing negative effects that impact all living systems.

EMF Sounds

listen to twelve samples of wireless signals from increasingly common sources

Each electromagnetic source has its own characteristic sound, which is demodulated by broadband-meters to allow evaluation of the sound's source.  The sounds are the interference on a particular radio frequency, not the sounds of wireless.  They are an audio representation of the patterns of the transmission, with every "zap" representing a "hit' of a micro pulse of radiation. 

Here you will find samples of:

  • HAARP            High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program 
  • TETRA            TErrestrial Trunked RAdio 
  • DVB-T             Digital Video Broadcasting- Terrestrial (aka Digital TV)
  • GSM                2 Generation Mobile Phone 
  • GSM                2 Generation Mobile Phone Base Station Transmitter (BST) 
  • DECT               Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunication (cordless phone) Base: Near                                  and Far  
  • UMTS              (3G) Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (3 Gen) Base Station (Node B) 
  • iPhone            (3G) Apple Phone (3G Mode and Standby) 
  • WLAN/Wi-Fi    Wireless Local Area Network / Wireless Fidelity
  • Bluetooth        Proprietary open wireless technology standard for microwave data                                                  exchange (standby and working) 
  • WiMAX            Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access 
  • RADAR            RAdio Detection And Ranging

Children, Cell Phones and ADHD

Cell Phone Use May Increase Their Risk of ADHD

Excerpts in an April 2, 2013 Press Release from Joel M. Moskowitz, Ph.D., School of Public Health, University of California, Berkeley:

A new study finds that children who use cell phones who are exposed to lead are at greater risk of developing Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder than lead-exposed children who do not use cell phones much or at all.

"... preventing the use of mobile phones in children may be one measure to keep children from developing ADHD symptoms ..."

The full text of the study is available at: PLOS ONE: Mobile Phone Use, Blood Lead Levels, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Symptoms in Children: A Longitudinal Study

Dr. Devra Davis Interview on Fox News re Cell Phone Safety

Fox News VIDEO - Concerns over early cell phone use and brain cancer

Concerns are growing over cell phone use after a new study showed a link between early cell phone use and brain cancer. . . .

Disconnect is a documentary that exposes the truth behind the negative health effects of cell phones. 

Globally, 5 billion people own mobile devices but few know the potential harm they are causing. Through extensive research and interviews with the world's leading doctors, scientists, politicians, activists, and victims; Disconnect traces the rise of a rogue industry and unveils the corrosive relationships which have corrupted public health. Severe adverse health effects have been associated with long-term microwave radiation exposure from cell phones. Many doctors and scientists believe brain tumors, infertility, and breast cancer are correlated with cumulative cell phone use."

Official Trailer:



First 6 minutes:


In the following clip, Stuart Cobb shows all of the different cell phones he's owned and why he believes the long-term radiation from them might have caused his brain tumor. I drove from my hometown of Stratford, Connecticut up to Portland, Maine twice within a week to film interviews with Stuart, the Cobb family, and then-current Mayor of Portland. This clip is one of my favorite sequences from the film. I hope if you find it meaningful you'll share it with others.

The Biological Effects of Weak Electromagnetic Fields (Goldsworthy)

Cell Phone radiation and harmful effects: Just how much more proof do you need? (2012)

"Dr. Andrew Goldsworthy has written this article about the harmful effects of electro magnetic radiation.

"It explains in some detail, but in lay-person's terms, the mechanisms underlying the various harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation from power lines and mobile telecommunication devices.

"The Industry can no longer claim that there is no known mechanism by which low level radiation can cause biological damage.

"It also goes on to say how the Industry, apparently deliberately, ignored warnings about the dangers involved in the specific pulse frequencies that they subsequently used in digital telecommunications. . . .

Cellphone safety: What aren't they telling us?

CBC The National with Wendy Mesley (first posted September, 2010)

Cellphone safety:What aren't they telling us?
Insurance companies won't insure wireless device health risks.
We keep hearing studies saying we don't need to worry about cellphones. Wendy Mesley speaks with scientist and author Devra Davis.

How to reduce exposure from mobile phones and other wireless devices

Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency - Fact Sheet 14/February 2013

"Overall, the evidence suggests that the radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic energy (EME) emissions of mobile phone handsets are not harmful to the user. However, the technology is very new and it's impossible to be completely sure there isn't some risk. This is particularly true for children where there is little research evidence. . . .

ALSO SECOND NEWSCAST VIDEO  Police call for power to seize distracted drivers' phones

"VICTORIA - The Chief of Police says text or talk while driving and lose your phone.

"At least that's what he's hoping for.

"The BC Association of Chiefs of Police will ask the province to allow them to seize cell phones from repeat offenders.

"Chief Jamie Graham says the message is not getting across and the fines are too low to make that difference.

"In addition to encouraging the ability to seize and hold phones for 24 hours, the association will request that fines are increased to deter first time offenders from doing it again."

Prenatal and Postnatal Exposure to Cell Phone Use and Behavioural Problems in Children

University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, USA; and University of Aarhus, Aarhus, Denmark.November 2008

"Conclusions:

"Exposure to cell phones prenatally-and, to a lesser degree, postnatally-was associated with behavioral difficulties such as emotional and hyperactivity problems around the age of school entry. These associations may be noncausal and may be due to unmeasured confounding. If real, they would be of public health concern given the widespread use of this technology."
