&lt;div style="margin:10px 0px;"&gt;Are cell phones safe? Mounting concerns about the cancer risks of cell phone radiation, especially for children, will bring experts to Washington for a groundbreaking international conference on September 13-15. The goal of the conference is to propose a U.S. research agenda. The latest scientific evidence on cell phones and human health and public policy implications will be presented by such respected experts as Dr. Ronald B. Herberman, Director Emeritus, University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute; Dr. Siegal Sadetzki, Tel Aviv Medical University, Israel&amp;#39;s key researcher on cancer and cell phones; Dr. Margaret Offermann, national research deputy at the American Cancer Society; and Professor Frank Barnes, chairman of the 2008 National Academy of Sciences report on research needed on cell phones and other personal wireless devices. Key members of Congress are expected to attend. Senator Arlen Specter (D-PA) is planning to independently chair a Senate hearing on cell phones and health on Monday, September 14 on Capitol Hill. Dr. Devra L. Davis, Professor of Public Health at the University of Pittsburgh and primary organizer of the conference, reports: &amp;quot;Deeply troubling findings have been reported outside the U.S., where cell phones have been widely used for longer periods of time. These findings show a doubled risk of brain cancer. Many governments, including France, Finland, China and Russia, even advise that children not use cell phones.&amp;quot; Says co-organizer Dr. Dariusz Leszczynski, Research Professor at the Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority, &amp;quot;People want to believe that cell phones are safe, but at this point we cannot make that judgment. &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin:10px 0px;"&gt;I have posted this as there seems to be a link between phones and brain tumours that is being ignored.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin:10px 0px;"&gt;There has been an annual 2% increase in BT over the last decade and it is now responsible, specifically with the under 40 year olds, in increased levels of cancer.&lt;/div&gt;
