Txt for the Children

CLo fwds some handy info to keep in mind (but not too deeply in the brain) as people coordinate by cell phone today...
October 2009 Audubon Naturalist Society eNews. Tip of the Month...

Yes, cell phones emit electromagnetic radiation, and the industries' own studies show that the cell signal is absorbed deeply into the brains of children, and up to two inches into an adult skull. If that's not creepy enough, at least one group of researchers have found a link between cell phone use and cancer, especially among the young. Find out how much radiation various phones (including the one in your hand) emit.

Try to keep phones off, particularly in areas with low reception (radiation increases as the phone attempts to make a weak connection). The good news is that texting reduces radiation near the brain, though if texting while driving, all bets are off.
