well, some people say that if you keep your cell phone close to your head, it can cause brain damage.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has classified mobile phone radiation as 'possibly carcinogenic', based on an increased risk for glioma (malignant brain cancer). Their Interphone report showed that over a ten year period using your mobile phone for just half an hour a day can raise your risk of brain cancer by 40%.

Recently published long-term studies have added to concerns that cell phone radiation may be linked to various forms of cancer, including tumours of the ear and brain, gliomas, blastomas, and neuromas, in addition to a broad range of other health risks:

-Children and teenagers are five times more likely to get brain cancer if they use mobile phones. Their thinner skulls and rapidly dividing brain cells make them more at risk.

-Research studies suggest damage to the immune system from cell phone radiation.

-Links to infertility from electromagnetic and microwave exposure.

-Mobile phones can cause dizziness, nausea, headaches, fatigue, sleep disturbance and memory loss.

If you have to use a mobile phone use it is safer to use an air tube headset.
