The fear that cell phones might be
causing brain tumors was aroused by ABC's
"20/20" (October 1999) in a story focused on the
claims of Dr. George Carlo, who, for the
previous six years, ran the cell phone industry's
research program on the effects of radiation
from cell phones. Gordon Bass also relied
heavily on Carlo for his alarmist piece in PC
Computing, "Is Your Cell Phone Killing You?"
(November 30, 1999). Carlo contradicts the

laboratory studies generally do not suggest that
cell phone RF radiation has genotoxic or
epigenetic activity, and a cell phone RF
radiation-cancer connection is found to be
physically implausible. Overall, the existing
evidence for a causal relationship between RF
radiation from cell phones and cancer is found
to be weak to nonexistent (Moulder et al. 1999).
In a press release on October 20, 1999,
the FCC responded to "20/20" and claimed that
the "values of exposure reported by ABC were
well within that safety margin, and, therefore,
there is no indication of any immediate threat to
human health from these phones." Furthermore,
the "20/20" story claimed that cell phone
antennae emit radiation into the brain, which is TWO GOOD TO BE TRUE
