Do You Worry About Your Cell Phone Being a Cancer Risk?

Jul 25 2008 - 10:00am

Every few months, it seems there's a new study saying that cell phones do or don't cause cancer. Today, they're saying it does. The new study is from a Pittsburgh doctor, warning folks to limit their use [1] because of a possible link between cell phones and cancer.

Dr. Ronald B. Herberman circulated a memo warning that not only are the electromagnetic fields a risk to the user, but cautions people when using phones in a public place, like the bus, so that you don't expose others as well.

I don't want to seem like I'm not taking it seriously or being an alarmist, but what exactly is limited usage? Should we retain our dwindling landlines [2] so we don't have to talk on cell phones at home, or is it chronic gabbers that are at risk? Either way, if I stressed about all the things that might kill me, frankly, I'd die of stress. So for now, I'm going to let it ride. What about you?
