700 MHz Cellphone Spectrum - a warning Although the link between cell phones and cancer is supposedly not strong, if you look at the actual details -the greatest connection to disease correlates with the longest exposure periods. Things can only get worse, since usage is increasing, the users are younger, and cell phones have not been around long enough for the full effects to show up in large population studies - and no one has paid attention to the most critical parameter of all - the most active (resonant) frequencies for neural activation.
A major study which found little overall increased risk, nevertheless reported that participants with the highest level of cellphone use had a 40 percent higher risk of one type of cancer. Go figure. To me, this can be interpreted as a warning than when you add anything "extra" (like resonance) into the equation, and over increasing time - the negative effects will be much worse, especially for heavy users. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/05/31/cellphone-radiation-may-cause-cance r-advisory-panel-says/ The 700 MHz Band will be opening up for cell phones soon in the USA. It could increase the exposure problem - due to the overlap of harmonics (inside a cavity - the cranium, which is in effect a cavity resonator) and the spin-flipping of protons (at an exact harmonic of 1420 MHz). The 710 MHz frequency may already be in use in Europe, but no test that I am aware of breaks down the results of health by frequency used. This should be done before it is too late. Cell phone frequencies are said NOT to be ionizing radiation, but that is not exactly true when resonance enters into the equation and when the material being irradiated already contains salt ions. There are known ways to create free protons using non-ionizing radiation and these protons are always ionized for some short period of time, even when they "usually" recombine in situ. Everyone here remembers the John Kanzius' salt-water-splitting experiment, using only the low frequency of 13.6 MHz. Lots of free hydrogen. Higher frequencies are more energetic, yet this low one splits water because sodium is resonant there. Bottom line: cell phone radiation can be effectively ionizing - and some frequencies are FAR more active than others (orders of magnitude worse). The connection to cancer is that ionizing radiation over many years creates genetic damage to DNA, this damage creates errant cells, and then eventually: cancer. How can non-ionizing radiation create temporarily free protons? Three ways. One is circular polarization, especially with crossed fields. Another is resonance. The third is by activating ions already present in blood and especially in neural cells which communicate via ions. First - circular polarization. When a strong effect is demonstrated in an experiment, then it is not a huge leap of faith to imagine that a weaker effect (over a longer period), can do the same thing. This study involves lasers and 700 MHz, but the longer term effect of less intense radiation is likely. http://pra.aps.org/abstract/PRA/v33/i1/p736_1 Possible ionization is also related to a similar effect that turns up in NMR, where RF resonance causes the target atom to oscillate in a wild fashion and re-radiate. This new communication band opening up soon consists of channels running from 698-806 MHz which are freed up as a result of Digital Television. Billions of dollars went into securing this band for the Telecoms. The other thing you need to know is the 1420 MHz resonance line of hydrogen. The hydrogen line at 21 cm refers to the change in the spin energy state of free hydrogen atoms - but even the bound hydrogen in carbohydrates (and neurons and other grey matter) is susceptible to the extra kinetic energy of this spin-flipping resonance. The 21 cm wavelength is already blocked for terrestrial communication (for a number of reasons) but the fully harmonic radiation at 42 cm at 710 MHz could be just as problematic, even more so - given the interior of the cranium is closer to the exact size and because this wl propagates better in many structural materials than the microwave intensity. It is a triple problem. In fact, the location of the 700 MHz Band -- just above the remaining TV broadcast channels -- is known for its excellent propagation characteristics - which actually encourages more energy to be used at each transmitter, since fewer can be used per area of coverage. Blocking a narrow band now (say from 690 to 730 MHz) would cost the FCC several billion in revenue, and that is not likely in today's political climate - given the budget deficits. Sadly - Look for the negative health of the new spectrum results in about 7-10 years. As for yourself - it could be a wise precaution to make sure your carrier does not use this band. ATT is the one company which will own it, IIRC but it will be licensed to others. Jones
