This is the first time an agency working group has surveyed research on radiofrequency electromagnetic fields to make a definitive recommendation, the IARC said. The agency didnБЂ™t issue guidelines for cell-phone use and said more study is needed after some evidence for an increased risk of glioma, or brain cancer.

Exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields from handsets is greater than that from mobile-phone towers and base stations, Robert Baan, the senior scientist in charge of the International БЂ™s report on the subject, said on a conference call with reporters yesterday. The fields are БЂњpossiblyБЂ« carcinogenic, the same category as diesel fuel, chloroform and working as a firefighter, according to the , based in Lyon, France, which classifies cancer risks based on research it conducts and coordinates.

Mobile phones may cause brain cancer in humans, a agency said, citing a review of studies. reports.

During two decades, the radiation beamed by phones into American brains increased about 500-fold, in proportion to the wild growth in cell phone use.

... While the link between phones and tumors may have seemed certain to grow, a strange thing happened. Beginning in 1991 the rate of brain cancer incidence reversed course and began to slowly fall. By 2008, the last year for which the National Cancer Institute has data, 65 out of every 1 million Americans got a brain cancer diagnosis annually.

Despite a 500-fold increase in radiation exposure from cell-phones since 1990, brain cancer rates have fallen. reports.

That cell phones have an effect on sperm quality has been . See as well as (like Levi Strauss dockers for men) made with anti-radiation-lined pockets.

reports that an Italian study published in the (PDF) by researchers in the United States and around the world, have found that the radio-frequency electromagnetic radiation (RF-EMR) emitted by cell phones may decrease sperm count and damage sperm quality.

"ItБЂ™s ridiculous to think that because you didnБЂ™t find a significant increase in brain cancer among kids that now cell phones are safe," added Devra Davis, president and founder of the consumer advocacy group . She likened the study to looking at 16-year-olds who smoked as children to see if they had lung cancer. БЂњYouБЂ™d find nothing,БЂ« she said.

After looking at brain tumors and cell phone use among about 1,000 boys and girls between the ages of 7 and 19, determined that kids who averaged one or more weekly cell phone calls over a period of at least six months were not at an increased risk of developing a brain tumor compared to peers that were non-users. Overall, less than 15 percent of the children and teens had spent more than 4 years as a cell phone user.

on serious concerns regarding the methods and conclusions of the first study evaluating the connection between cell phone radiation and brain cancer in children and teens. Not only was the study flawed, they note, but it was also financially supported by the cell phone industry.

At its meeting tomorrow, the board will vote on amended legislation that would require retailers in the city to informational notices on radiofrequency (RF) exposure and offer fact sheets to consumers that request them.

Almost three months after it shelved a , the San Francisco Board of Supervisors is keeping the issue alive, but adopting a different strategy for doing so. reports.

And finally, the kind of radiation emitted by cellphones БЂ" unlike the radiation emitted by X-rays or nuclear bombs БЂ" cannot directly damage DNA. X-rays and nuclear radiation possess the energy required to alter genes and thereby cause cancer. But the frequency of cellphone radiation is more than a million-fold lower. If cellphone radiation is causing cancer, it is doing so through a mechanism that defies our current understanding of carcinogenesis.

... Despite a drastic increase in cellphone usage over the past decades, there has been no significant change in glioma cancer rates across the nation. Perhaps it is too early to judge, but the enormous increase in phone usage should have caused at least a minor blip in glioma rates over 20 years БЂ" but no such increase is apparent.

In late May, a World Health Organization panel added cellphones to a list of things that are БЂњpossibly carcinogenicБЂ« БЂ" a category that also includes pickles and coffee.

Its' hard to not to get a yawn out of yet another article on cell phones causing cancer or not, but this opinion piece from is worth reading. It brings to light the extraordinary task that lies ahead for cancer prevention.
