The debate over whether cell phone radiation causes cancer has been raging for years, but most experts agree that there is simply not enough data to determine whether the mobile devices pose a health risk. Nonetheless, a Maine legislator is reportedly prepping a bill that would require cell phones in the state to carry warnings that they may cause brain cancer.
Rep. Andrea Boland, a Democrat, said that many studies point to a connection between cell phones and brain cancer, and she will introduce her bill during the 2010 session, AP reports.
Boland said she has a cell phone, but that she uses speaker phone and leaves it off unless she is expecting a call. Her warning would discuss possible electromagnetic radiation from cell phones, and recommend that children and pregnant women keep the devices away from their head and body.
