A
consumer group said Thursday that cell phones are a
health risk, and governments should make it mandatory for the industry to
warn users of that fact. Montreal-based Option Consommateurs pointed out that
cellular phones put out radiation that travels into the brain. The group
cited 15 studies that suggest microwaves from the phones can lead to cell
damage and eventually cancer.
The
cell phone industry has dismissed the
results of the studies. But many users complain of headaches and burning
around the face after using them for long periods. Option Consommateurs said
the federal government should insist on warning labels on the devices, just
as it requires on cigarettes. It also urged the government to force the
companies to do more research on the effects of the non-thermal radiation
emitted by the phones. Industry analysts predicted that within the next five
years, there will be a billion cell phones in use.
