RE: Cordless phones and smoke detectors

Benson, Sarah (Sen L. Allison)
Likewise, I've never owned a cordless phone, and if I visit someone who
has one I ask if it can be switched off - if at all possible. Below is
a posting from another list on cordless phones, FYI.

****************************************

"Your readers might also be interested to know that not only are the new
cordless phones potentially dangerous because they are more powerful,
but brain tissue is much more absorptive at these higher frequencies
than at low frequency. For example, at 50 Mhz, the absorption
coefficient for brain grey matter is 0.076 per centimeter; at 900 Mhz it
is 0.27 per centimeter; and at 2500 Mhz, the absorption coefficient is
0.54 per centimeter. These are my calculations based on tabulated data
of dielectric constant and eelctrical conductivity obtained by Dr.
Camelia Gabriel for cadavers and reported in Air Force Report
AL/OE-TR-1996-0037 from Brooks AFB. The formula for computing the
absorption coefficient is in many text books, one of which is the book
Classical Electrodynamics by J.D. Jackson."  

*******************************************

By the way, does anyone have a problem with domestic smoke detectors?
Here in Australia they are compulsory in all homes so I have trouble
staying in other people's homes if I am travelling....again I ask for
the batteries to be removed. I would be interested to know which other
countries have made thhem compulsory for insurance purposes as well.

Cheers

Sarah

The radiation diminishes with distance of course and depending upon
your sensitivity, yes, you are getting it throughout your house. How
much radiation you want is up to you. And yes, hotels, cafes, airports
that are wired for wireless all have microwave radiation blanketing the
area.
You will have to figure out what you can handle. I don't even use my
meter any more. The symptoms are predictable and in the same places on
my body.
good luck,
Andrew
