Mobile Phone Radiation to be Tested

From Reuters:

HELSINKI (Reuters) - Finland's radiation watchdog is to study the effects of mobile phones on human proteins by direct tests on people's skin, to see if handset transmissions affect their health.

A pilot study, to be conducted next week, will expose a small area of skin on volunteers' arms to cellphone radiation for the duration of a long phone call, or for one hour, research professor Dariusz Leszczynski said on Friday.
Those of us who have read Stephen King's latest book, Cell, think someone needs to be studying
something else involving mobile phones.
