Mobile phones are in the news AGAIN, this time because the nickel in them is causing rashes on kids' faces. Not surprising, given that kids seem to have them permanently glued to their cheeks.But now we have a new Finnish study that reinforces the fact that living tissue responds to mobile phone radiation. Science Today reports:
"Earlier studies have shown that mobile phone radiation (radiofrequency modulated electromagnetic fields; RF-EMF) alters protein expression and activity in human endothelial cell line. STUK’s new study is globally unique, because for the first time it has examined whether a local exposure of human skin to RF-EMF will cause changes in protein expression in living people.
In the study, a small area of forearm’s skin in 10 volunteers was exposed to GSM signal for one hour. After that skin biopsies were collected from exposed and non-exposed areas of skin and all extractable proteins were examined. The analysis of 580 proteins identified 8 proteins that were statistically significantly affected.
”Mobile phone radiation has some biological effect. Even if the changes are small, they still exist”, says Dariusz Leszczynski, Research Professor at STUK.
According to Leszczynski it is much too early to say will these changes induced by the mobile phone radiation have any effect on health."
The last time I mentioned our Talksafe phone radiation protector the email nearly melted down! One lady ordered 12.
As I said last time, I have no idea how well they work, but $30 isn't too much to pay for insurance against a brain tumour!
