Unlike heavy mobile phone use it has been proven that increasing

Seriously though, as an illustration, say that in 20 years time we find
that the heating effect of RF from mobile phones provides a catalyst
for increased oxydisation in the brain when combined with the
inhilation of plastics vapour from the material used in cellphone keypd
membranes to cause cancer of the nose (it could happen!!). This would
be a totally unforseen risk to our health. What this report says that
is as a precaution to unforseen health risks it is better not to let
childern use mobile phones and audults only when absolutly necessary
and to limit use. This is an example of the "precautionary principle",
specifically used to limit or halt future crisis.

The "standards" for RF safety assume that heating is the only thing
that affects health.

The standard as tested and applied will prevent problems due to
heating - and make the world a safer place for Jello.

I seem to remember at least one case of a researcher in the US turning
up some evidence that low frequency magnetic fields inhibit a bodies
ability to either use or produce "T" cells.

Personally, I don't think there is enough research into it. (and
there isn't likely to be enough)
