Cell phone radiation and the big cancer scare is like the microwave oven scare that threatened that industry.Cell phones give off electric and magnetic fields (EMF)also known as electromagnetic radiation.Cell phone radiation is a non-ionizing form of radiation and dose not have enough energy to break apart atoms and molecules and turn them into ions,which are electrically charged particles.Cell phones are like microwave ovens,electric clocks,computers and lots of appliances that give off radiation in low doses and low levels.CDMA phones give off the lowest amount of radiation due to there low power (i.e.)200 milliamps as opposed to 1000 milliamps for GSM phones.IMHO
