The US National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences [NIH} has just published a final report linking cell phone radiation exposure to the production of tumors in mice. This animal study that confirms the causal relationship between radio frequency radiation of cell phones and cancer in animals is a significant step forward to establishing a causal relationship in humans.

Radiation Exposure: Major New Study Links Cell Phone Exposure to Cancer in Rats
A new study conducted by the US National Toxicology Program has linked radiation from cell phone exposure to cancer in rats. This report reignites the controversy that was sparked by earlier scientific research of the positive causal relationship. Those studies were downplayed by the Industry. Workplace exposures may ultimately result in in a surge of disease and an epidemic of workers' compensation claims in the near future.

Distracted Walkers Are a Workplace Hazard

We are too quick to blame workers for causing all accidents through the use of cellphones. Pedestrians on many occasions ignore all reason and logic, and walk in front of vehicles oblivious to the world.

Cell Phones, Glioma and Cancer in the Workplace
 |
| In a new report by 31 scientists meeting at the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (WHO/IARC) it was found that using a mobile phone may increase your risk for certain kinds of brain cancers. While further scientific work will be conducted, the group of scientists from 14 countries classified cell phones in the carcinogenic category 2B, which is similar to the pesticide DDT and gasoline engine exhaust.

The WHO/International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B), based on an increased risk for glioma, a malignant type of brain cancer, associated with wireless phone use.
Additionally cell phone usage on the road by employees has been classified as "distracted driving," and a major road hazard. Federal Regulations have been placed into effect limiting their use by commercial interstate transportation carriers.
