Interesting, well it's quite possible. The point I was making however is
that most people see radio/TV as low/acceptable risk (compared with the
perceived benefits). Like petrol for cars, smoking and drinking alcohol!



Unfortunately we may have got to the point where so many people see their
mobiles as indispensable that it will be extremely difficult to reduce their
use, even if a health link is proved. Never mind about big business - once
the general public has accepted something, it is very difficult to reverse,
even by legislation (as shown by the Puritans in Britain in the 1650's and
Prohibition in the USA in the 1930's). I guess however that the gradual
growth of smoking legislation shows that limits can be achieved if there's
general agreement about the risk.

I believe there is data that supports the claim that FM and TV towers
increase skin cancer.
