QUINTEK TECHNOLOGIES INC - Microshield Products
New York, New York, Dec 17, 2001 (Market News Publishing via COMTEX) -- Quintek Technologies, Inc. announced the availability of several new products offered by affiliate Microshield Technologies, Inc. (Microshield), located in Atascadero, California.
Microshield manufactures and distributes products to protect consumers from cell phone radiation. Their primary product, The Shield(TM), slides on existing cell phones and functions to absorb radiation before it can reach the user. The Shield(TM) is now available as an add-on accessory for the Nokia 5100/6100 series and Motorola Talk About and Star TAC cell phones, which are used by an estimated 65% of all cell phone customers.
Dr. George Carlo, Chief Scientist of the world's largest research effort on wireless safety (funded by the wireless telephone industry) reported that the risk of getting neuro epithelial tumors was more than double for people that use cell phones, when compared to those that do not use cell phones. His research also concluded that cell phone radiation is positively linked to internal genetic damage. His findings were reported to the general public in his book, "Cell Phones, Invisible Hazards of the Wireless Age," and through personal interviews on popular television news programs.
Microshield has developed an ideal solution for shielding consumers from cell phone radiation, as proved by Dr. Om Gandhi, a Professor from the University of Utah. Dr. Gandhi is one of the pioneers in the study of cellular phone radiation and its dangers to consumers, especially children. He has thoroughly tested The Shield(TM) and has certified that it provides an 87% reduction in cell phone radiation. His report is available on Microshield's web site at www.cellphoneshield.com.
