Scientists: Cell Phones cause Kidney Failures Mobile phones were at the centre of a new health scare last night after claims they can seriously damage the heart and kidneys. Earlier reports have already linked their use to brain tumours, headaches and premature ageing. Now scientists sat exposure to the phones' low-level radiation causes red blood cells to leak haemoglobin. The build-up of haemoglobin, which carries oxygen around the body, can lead to heart disease and kidney stones. The findings will heighten alarm over the safety of mobile phones which are used by more than 13 million people in Britain. In the latest research, scientists exposed samples of blood to varying degrees of microwave radiation for periods between ten to 60 hours. Even at lower levels than those emitted by mobile phones, the cells leaked haemoglobin. Professor Edward Tuddenham, a haemotologist at the Imperial College Medical School based in Hammersmith Hospital, West London, said the findings were worrying and he wanted to see the study followed up. 'The accumulation of haemoglobin in the body could result in heart disease or kidney stones,' he warned. The Department of Health said yesterday that the new study - carried out at the European Research Institute for Electronic Components in Bucharest - would be examined by a Government-appointed committee due to report on phone safety next year. However, the Cambridge based consumer group Powerwatch said with evidence of the risks growing the government needed to do more. 'We are still very much investigating the biological consequences of mobile phones. But there certainly seems to be enough laboratory studies now saying there are effects, to be very concerned,' said a spokesman. Last month, scientists at Sweden's Lund University found that two minutes of exposure to emissions from mobile phones can disable a safety barrier in the blood causing proteins and toxins to leak into the brain. This can increase the chances of developing diseases such as Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's. The Federation of the Electronics Industry yesterday repeated its claim that there was no conclusive proof that the phones were a health hazard. A spokesman said mobiles operated within strict guidelines on radiation emissions. 'The consensus of scientific opinion is that there is no consistent evidence that mobile phones operating within these guidelines have any adverse health effects,' he said.
Jebus... Earth has been bombarded with waves so much stronger then cellphones BS pulses and we're still here. p.s. i just made up that quote lol
You're neglecting the effect of such variables of wavelength, frequency, proximity, etc; and BTW, if the ozone layer wasn't there, we would all have been toast long ago. Hence, it's not that the waves aren't affecting us, it's because we're being nominally protected. Just a day at the beach without sun screen would change your mind. LOL... The electromagnetic spectrum covers everything from your average AM radio to deadly Gamma radiation. However gamma rays can be harnessed and used to perform radiotactic surgery. Other medical procedures involve use of Xrays, or extra corporeal sound waves to break up internal kidney stones (lithotripsy). Police and military in the US are now using Long Range Acoustic Devices for crowd control. Simply put, the entirety of the EMS can be dangerous if used in a way that allows it to bring harm to humans. Even visible light can be a detriment if it is bright enough. The issue with small microwave emitting devices such as cell phones have been discussed for years. The fact is, they emit microwave energy because they use that energy to carry its signal. How that energy affects the surrounding environment, to include people, is still a matter of debate, but nonetheless worrisome. I myself, would hesitate to be so easily dismissive. -detect
tbh i dont really care, were being killed by food, water, the polluted air we breath, the processed food, our noodles, second-hand fag smoke etc etc...
Yea, honestly I could careless since everything kills you... Kinda pointless now.. someday is gonna be like "The air that you inhale can cause cancer"
The air we inhale are also bad. Remember I saw a docu. program (5 or so years ago) about aging and one of the reasons for the aging of people is oxygen. So if you don't want to get old stop breathing...-dead
