Dangers of human-made radiation in our environment

ARE CELL PHONES REALLY THAT BAD FOR OUR HEALTH?
The latest breaking news from the FCC is that they are investigating Apple and Samsung for violating Radio Frequency (RF) radiation limits emitted by their cell phones. This is in response to an internal study by the Chicago Tribune that showed RF emissions as much as 5 times the limits set by the US government -- limits that have already been criticized for being outdated (established in the 90s) and overly lenient. A related lawsuit has also been filed against Apple and Samsung.
