George Carlo, a public health scientist has been studying
whether cell phones pose a health risk to consumers.
This study, which has taken place over the last six years
has discovered that acoustic neuroma, a benign tumor of
the auditory nerve that is well in range of the radiation
coming from a phone's antennae, was 50% higher in people who
reported using cell phones for six years or more.
There are other reported problems too. Perhaps midwifes who
frequently use cell phones would be wise to invest in those
headphone attachments which are now available.
