Houdini Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Do you believe that cell phones can really cause cancer? some say that they've gotten cancer and "they've always kept their cell phones in their bras" and so on. Is this a coincidence or are we discovering a new problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmmaLouiseSmyth Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 "they've always kept their cell phones in their bras" :wtf: why would you put it in your bra, you just have one mis shaped boob. i pressume you mean like a shirt pocket.

Saffire Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 No because cell phones emit a type of radiation that is shown to not affect biological processes - the wavelength is too long, so the radiation just passes through cells and DNA without causing any damage, just like visible light does.

Dfit00 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 ^ You're exactly right, the radio waves that the cellphone receives and sends have no energy at all to cause malignant cells within the body. You can also prove this by doing a linear regression of specific studies and observations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck kottke Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Perhaps not the radiation, but does the plastic phone case out-gas carcinogens? Constant skin exposure might lead to a risk. And while the energy level of radio waves are below infra-red (heat essentially), one wonders if they may disrupt certain molecular bonds, as the resonant frequency of a given bond will oscillate when pulsed with a corresponding frequency of microwave radiation. If that were bonds in the DNA molecule, or hormone molecule bonds, or some other important regulator chemical in the body, I would think there could potentially be some risks, but if double-blind clinical tests are inconclusive or show a low level of correlation between risk and exposure, well then, it sounds like they may be safe in terms of their microwave energy outputs. But some cell phones do have a vibrator setting, so this might lead to some excitement when placed in a bra! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurpleMartinSt Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Actually, when we go on stage for choir at school, our dresses don't have pockets, so we put them in our bras xD I don't put it there other then that though :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
