Kyungha, all they have proved so far is that the harm from 2GHz photons is below the epidemiological study precision. They have not proved that there is no harm. <it has not been proven that high frequency bands<2.5 GHz and higher> used in wireless comm is causing harmful bio chemical effect vs the ultra high frequency of cosmic microwave which has been suspect of long term hazard to human health and longevity.> It's rather obvious to me that there is harm. The only question is how much harm there is. Here's how the harm happens. There are two methods. 1 Combining of a low energy 2GHz photon and a high energy cosmic photon at the same time and place. The high energy photon might not have quite enough energy to do the ionizing action. The low energy photon adds just enough to do the job, like Michael Jordan holding up a one year old to touch a basket while standing flat footed [maybe he'd need a two year old but you know what I mean]. 2 A little bit of heat to topple a chemical reaction into carcinogenicity. Suppose a benzene molecule is tootling through the brain along with the blood carrying it. It bumps into a myeloid leukaemia opportunity but is lacking a little bit of energy to make the connection. Along comes a phone call and dumps a photon handily right on the spot, banging the molecules together just a little bit harder which tips the balance and hey presto, a new myeloid leukaemia is on its way. Same mechanism for glioma etc [brain cancer]. Since myeloid leukaemia is especially a benzene related matter and since there is a LOT more blood elsewhere in the body than in the brain, one shouldn't bother looking for a link of myeloid leukaemia to cellphone use. The increased incidence would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Brains sit there all day, suffused with photons from cellphones. So one looks for brain tumours rather than blood cancers.
