mobile phone radiation is it safe or not?
Prof Johansson is one of the leading researchers on this issue.

also note:

'Professor Ross Adey, a biologist, had his funding withdrawn by Motorola before completing research which showed that mobiles affected the number of brain tumors in animals. Dr. Henry Lai, who has been studying the biological effects of electromagnetic fields for 20 years, was asked three times to change findings on how they caused DNA breaks in rats."27 Both of these scientists have been involved in academic, military and other research projects throughout their lives'

Publication: SST Date: 23 Mar 2003 Page: A 16 Headline: Cellphone link to tumours ..

SCIENTISTS HAVE found the first evidence of a link between regular use of digital mobile phones and brain tumours. Researchers in Sweden discovered a 30% increased risk of brain tumours among regular users, typically those spending more than an hour a day on the phones. Such tumours occurred most frequently on the side of the head to which the person held their phone. The biggest increase was seen in acoustic neuromas, which form behind the ear and can mostly be treated. Mobile phones have been found to alter the workings of brain cells, affect memory and cause cancer in laboratory rats. Until now, however, there has been no proven link to human disease. The new study, published in the International Journal of Oncology, was based on the analysis of 1600 tumour victims who had been using mobile phones for up to 10 years. Professor Kjell Mild, the Swedish biophysicist who led the study, said: "The evidence for a connection between phone use and cancer is clear and convincing. The more you use phones and the greater the number of years you have them, the greater the risk of brain tumours." An earlier study by Mild and Lennart Hardell, a cancer specialist, linked brain tumours to the use of analogue mobile phones. The new research repeated this and also looked at digital mobiles and "Dect" cordless phones. It showed that all three types were linked with increased tumour rates. Acoustic neuromas are usually slow growing and can be detected because they cause tingling and hearing loss. However, it takes doctors an average of two years to make a diagnosis, and surgery, the usual treatment, can leave damaged nerves that lead to involuntary facial spasms. Since 1980, the number of acoustic neuromas diagnosed in Britain has risen from one in every 100,000 of the population to one in 80,000 a year. The mobile phone industry has long resisted any suggestion of a link to cancer, though it accepts that mobile phone radiation does affect the electrical activity in the brain._The Sunday Times

mobile phones and vanishing birds:

'Scientists at the Research Institute for Nature and Forests in Brussels, Belgium, have produced the first evidence that mobile phone base stations are affecting the reproductive behaviour of wild sparrows [3]. This finding comes as mobile phones are held suspect in the massive collapse of bee colonies all over the United States and Europe [4] ( Mobile Phones and Vanishing Bees , SiS 34).

Joris Everaert and Dirk Bauwens wanted to know if the low intensity microwave radiation from mobile phone base stations has any effect on the number of house sparrows during the breeding season. They identified 150 locations distributed over six residential districts in Gent, Sint and Niklaas in the province of East Flanders, where they counted the number of male house sparrows and measured the strength of electromagnetic radiation from base stations.

'This letter is written by Dr. Carlo in response to the Danish study published recently in the press that purportedly shows no connection between cell phones and cancer. Dr. George Carlo is a leading epidemiologist who formerly headed the $28 million Wireless Technology Research (WTR) program funded by the cell phone industry. During that time, he discovered some alarming findings later published in his book.'

...

Indeed, John Boice and his colleagues have been on the cell phone industry payroll, and for big money, since the late 1990's. The money laundering vehicle is the International Epidemiology Institute -- the name sounds like a non-profit by design, but make no mistake, this is a big for-profit enterprise. When I ran the WTR, the International Epidemiology Institute, with Boice and a fellow named Joe McLaughlin, applied for funding to do this exact epidemiology study that was released this week. After much discussion within the WTR, they were refused funding because I felt they were blatantly biased and had overtly given us the notion that they would always create findings that were favorable to the industry. They thought that is what we wanted in the WTR -- they thought they were playing to the audience. But, they were wrong. When we refused to give them funding to do work, they went directly to the industry with the same pitch, and were hired. They were able to make good on their pitch of being able to put "put all of this under the radar" by further laundering the industry support money through the Danish Cancer Registry. This is the pitch that was given to me personally and directly. I still have their proposal.
