Description | Are cell phones safe? Mounting concerns
about the cancer risks of cell phone radiation, especially for children, will
bring experts to Washington for a groundbreaking international conference on
September 13-15. The goal of the conference is to propose a U.S. research
agenda.
The latest scientific evidence on cell phones and human health and public
policy implications will be presented by such respected experts as Dr. Ronald
B. Herberman, Director Emeritus, University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute;
Dr. Siegal Sadetzki, Tel Aviv Medical University, Israel's key researcher on
cancer and cell phones; Dr. Margaret Offermann, national research deputy at
the American Cancer Society; and Professor Frank Barnes, chairman of the 2008
National Academy of Sciences report on research needed on cell phones and
other personal wireless devices.
