WASHINGTON, Sept. 9 (UPI) -- The Environmental Working Group
says U.S. consumers should be aware that certain cell phones emit
more radiation than others.
USA Today said the government watchdog group posted a list
of more than 100 cell phones Wednesday on www.ewg.org with the
devices ranked in order of their individual radiation levels.
Jane Houlihan, the Washington-based group's senior vice
president of research, said studies "are showing increased risk for
brain and mouth tumors for people who have used cell phones for at
least 10 years."
Houlihan said while cell phones' link to cancer has not been
proven definitively, her group is advising consumers to use cell
phones with low levels of radiation in order to limit potential
health problems.
USA Today said, according to the watchdog's list, the cell
phones with the highest radiation levels are T-Mobile's MyTouch 3G,
Motorola Moto VU204 and Kyocera Jax S1300. The cell phone with the
lowest levels is the Samsung Impression.
