No, there certainly have been extensive studies, with tens of thousands of test subjects. It's a known fact that, for example, while using a GSM cellphone can double the chance of individual cell mutations, breathing pure oxygen multiplies the chance by a factor of 8 (!).

It may well be that the Essex University is conducting some never-before-done examinations in their study, but that's the whole point of new studies. Remember that a study is worthless if it's results cannot be reproduced by others.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/29/new-major-study-of-whether-or-not-cellphone-base-stations-are/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/29/new-major-study-of-whether-or-not-cellphone-base-stations-are/
And what are the odds that you will be breathing pure oxygen more than a few seconds in your entire life ? Since the immense majority of us live on a planet where pure oxygen is only available in very rare and disseminated points, chemical labs and industries mainly, you can eliminate pure oxygen as a risk factor of any kind to your health. Earth atmosphere is only 20% oxygen you know, the rest being mostly nitrogen.

So your maths about risk factor are quite moot, we spend much time using GSMs and none breathing pure oxygen.

Did you know that there was a 100% death risk if you happen to be within a 2 meters radius of a fusion bomb when it explodes ?

Cellphone radiation is far less dangerous so clearly we should not worry about it, sure :)]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:07AM
