San Francisco has just passed what is sure to be the first of many over-zealous laws in the U.S. related to cell phone radiation. The city's Twitter-addicted mayor signed into law a measure requiring that retailers post the the SAR (Specific Absorption Rate, or the rate at which the electromagnetic radiation is absorbed by the body) next to each handset in at least 11-point font. The law isn't ...

The debate over whether or not the electromagnetic radiation emitted by cell phones is dangerous to the human body is far from settled. Some, though, would rather be safe than sorry, and a market has opened for products that claim to protect against those invisible waves of energy. While allegations of those waves' danger may not be grounded in good science, some of the protective designs are. ...

Grab your tinfoil hats everyone. We're going on a wild ride through the world of cell phone radiation, industry cover-ups, and government complicity. If you've been following Switched, or tech news at all, you know that one of the most contentious debates right now is over wireless technology and its effects on the human body. Studies come out nearly every week, alternately declaring cell phone ...

You may have heard about Arthur Firstenberg, the man suing his Santa Fe neighbor, Raphaela Monribot, for refusing to turn off her iPhone, wireless network, and other gadgets that emit electromagnetic radiation, which Firstenberg claims to have a hyper-sensitivity to. Ignoring the fact that, according to most studies, electromagnetic sensitivity (EMS) is at best a purely psychological disorder, ...

Yesterday it was cancer, and today it's bone degeneration. A recent study is blaming cell phones for reducing bone density in an area of the hip often used for bone grafts. Turkish researchers believe that wearing a cell phone on a belt clip (which other researchers recommend as a way to prevent low sperm counts) may result in lower bone density, due to the phone's electromagnetic radiation. ...

We've seen our fair share of EMF detectors and other tin foil hat apparel, but no endeavor is complete without the MIT stamp of approval. Cati Vaucelle's EMF sensor bracelet is designed to pick up on any potentially harmful electromagnetic fields, allowing you to dance around the veritable minefield of computers and cell phones in your workplace, unscathed by the -- maybe, maybe not -- lethal ...

There have been many claims and supposed findings about the impacts of electromagnetic radiation from cell phones and your health. So far, none of these studies have come up with hard proof that shows any real negative link. Now, a new study -- which found that the amount of radiation given off by a cell phone can disrupt your sleep -- is adding a little more gas to the fire, The study, which ...
