I saw that, terrible isn't it!

Here's  a couple other good things, that says, slow though it may be, some things are turning around. - I only pasted the positive ones, but you can see all at the links.

Bad that those ahems, are even contesting this, but at least some are trying:

no.2
This Motorola model, which includes a two-way radio, comes close to the government's maximum absorption rate of 1.6 watts per kilogram of body tissue.
...legislators in Maine are debating a bill that would require manufacturers to put a warning label on every cell phone sold in the state declaring, "This device emits electromagnetic radiation, exposure to which may cause brain cancer."
no.6
...And that may be reassuring news to people who follow the work of Dariusz Leszczynski, a research professor at Finland's Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority in Helsinki, who has done studies that indicate RF radiation may create a stress reaction in the cells that line blood vessels, leading to a dangerous breach in the blood-brain barrier. "Mobile phone radiation may be able to indirectly hurt cells, perhaps by interfering with their ability to repair normal DNA damage," he says.
no. 9
..."But as a public-health concern, I'm saying we definitely should adopt precautions," says Dr. Siegal Sadetzki, a cancer researcher at Israel's Gertner Institute whose epidemiological studies have found some connections between cell-phone use and salivary-gland tumors.

no.10
...And given the potentially more serious risks for children, who have thinner skulls than adults, parents might want to wait before handing teens their first phone — or at least ensure they use it mostly for texting.
