- Cancer.org Cell phones work by sending signals to (and receiving them from) nearby cell towers (base stations) using RF waves. This is a form of electromagnetic energy that falls between FM radio waves and microwaves. Like FM radio waves, microwaves, visible light, and heat, RF waves are a form of non-ionizing radiation.

In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP). Body-Worn Operation To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, always use an appropriate accessory if using the phone for body worn operations. Accessories used with this phone for body worn operations must not contain any metallic components and must provide at least 0.59 inches (1.5 centimeters) separation distance between the user’s body and the phone, including antennas. Body worn accessories that do not meet these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements and should be avoided

Mobile Phone Makers Patent ‘Radiation Shields’ To Combat Brain Cancer Risk,
Wireless NewsFactor ...
Journalist: Jay Wrolstad,
June 11, 2001
Mobile phone manufacturers have patented “radiation shields” to reduce the risk of brain tumors among consumers, despite their claims that phone use presents no serious health hazards, a British newspaper has reported. Although the companies dismissed the report, it could be used as ammunition in lawsuits recently filed by consumers against manufacturers. more below

Some plastics are safer to eat and drink from than
others. Here's a quick guide to help you make informed choices. If you
want to dig deeper, take a look at the Institute for Agriculture and Trade
Policy's Smart Plastics Guide (PDF). It's worth avoiding the following
plastics when you can. You can identify a plastic by looking at the
recycling code number that appears inside a triangle at the bottom of many
containers. ...
- Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) can leach phthalates, known
male reproductive toxicants. It can be identified by code 3.
One way to avoid it in the kitchen is by choosing
plastic wrap made from polyethylene rather than PVC. If a box is not
labeled, find a brand that is or call the manufacturer. In
response to the widespread concerns about BPA, baby bottles and other
items made from alternative materials are springing up. Experts say
stainless steel is your best bet for reusable water bottles right now.
ThinkSport and Klean Kanteen are two widely available brands. The
following plastics are considered safest for food storage. Glass and
stainless steel are also good options.
- Polyethylene terephthalate ethylene (PETE), code
1.
- High-density polyethylene (HDPE), code 2.
- Low-density polyethylene (LDPE), code 4.
- Polypropylene (PP), code 5.
- Polystyrene is used in Styrofoam products. It may
leach styrene (a neurotoxin) when it comes into contact with hot,
acidic, or fatty foods. It's marked with recycling code 6
- Polycarbonate can leach bisphenol-A (BPA), an
endocrine disruptor associated with a long list of health concerns.
Baby bottles, "sippy" cups, 5-gallon water jugs, and
reusable beverage bottles are typically made out of this plastic.
Products may be marked with recycling code 7 (also includes any
plastic that doesn't fit into the 1 to 6 recycling code categories)
and/or the letters "PC."
Here are some tips for using all plastics safely: Don't
microwave food plastic containers. Chemicals are more likely to leach out
when plastic is heated. "Microwaveable plastic" doesn't
guarantee that chemicals won't leach. Cover foods in the microwave with
wax paper or a plate. If you do use plastic wrap, then make sure it
doesn't touch the food. Avoid putting hot foods in plastic containers. Let
leftovers cool off before storing them in plastic. Take good care of
plastics by not washing them with harsh chemicals, and dispose of
scratched and worn containers. Research has shown that older, scratched
items will leach more, says Kathleen Schuler at the Institute for
Agricultural and Trade Policy. (Don't put them in the dishwasher if you
want to be completely risk-averse, she suggests.) Environmental journalist
