不久前Rico看到网上流传的手机辐射爆米花视频，至今仍心有余悸—处于通话响铃状态的四台手机所产生的辐射足以让粟米粒变成爆米花？！如此看来，手机还是少用为妙……
The mobile industry seems to of largely shrugged off[对……不屑一顾] concerns over the potential health risks of using mobile devices[装置]. But according to Dr. David
Servan-Schreiber, it’s simply too earlier in the life of this now ubiquitous[普遍存在的] technology to be
complacent[得意的] about its long-term implications[暗示].
Servan-Schreiber: We know that the studies that have been done so far to follow the health of people who use mobile phones are completely unable to answer the question of whether there’s a risk or not because they follow people for less than ten years, as mobile phones are such a recent technology. If you’ve had people smoke a pack of cigarette a day for ten years, you would see no effect on cancer rates because they take 15-35 years to manifest[显示].
Servan-Schreiber says after he published the book Anti-Cancer, he was contacted regularly by members
of the public confused over the health implications of using mobile phones. So, he assembled[召集] a team of 20 top experts to look into the issue.
Servan-Schreiber: And we came to the conclusion that is very simple: one, electro-magnetic fields from mobile phone penetrate[穿透] the body, and in particular
the brain. They do so much more in children to degrees that are truly alarming[令人担忧的]. If you look at the figure of mobile phone penetration注, it goes all the way through the brain of a 5-year-old, it goes only about this half, about this way, this deep in an adult brain if you have a phone here.
Servan-Schreiber’s committee compiled a list of “Suggested Precautions[预防]” including:
● Do not allow children under the age of 12 to use mobile phones except in the case of emergencies.
● Try to keep mobiles away from the body by using a hands-free kit[成套工具] or speaker phone mode.
● Avoid using phones when the signal is weak or when moving at high speeds.
● And keep mobile conversations short.
Servan-Schreiber is a brain cancer survivor himself, though he hastens to add his cancer was diagnosed[诊断] long before mobile phones went mainstream. He points out that even he has a mobile
phone which he’ll continue to use. He says his
warnings are merely meant to build awareness, so users and manufacturers can avoid a rude awakening years down the line.
移动通讯业似乎在很大程度上让人们对“使用移动通讯设备带来的潜在健康危险”的担忧不屑一顾。不过，据
戴维·瑟万-斯格博博士指出，就现在这种无所不在的技术的发展历程来看，对其长期影响持乐观态度还为时过早。
瑟万-斯格博：我们了解到，目前完成的跟踪移动电话用户健康状况的研究还完全不能对“这种技术是否存在危险隐患”这个问题进行回答。因为研究人员只跟踪调查了不足十年，毕竟移动电话是一项新兴技术。如果你跟踪调查每天吸一包烟的人十年，你会发现吸烟与癌症发病率之间没有任何关系，因为这种影响要过15到35年后才会显现。
瑟万-斯格博称，在他出版了《抗癌》一书后，他不时会接触到一些公众，他们对于使用移动电话带来的健康隐患相当困惑。因此，他召集了一个由20名顶尖专家组成的小组去调查这一问题。
瑟万-斯格博：我们得出了一个非常简单的结论：第一，来自移动电话的电磁场会穿透人体，尤其是人的大脑。这些磁场对儿童的影响程度更大，达到了令人担忧的程度。如果你查看一下移动电话穿透力方面的数据，（你会发现，）电磁波可以完全穿透一个五岁儿童的大脑。而如果你把手机放在这个部位，电磁波对成人大脑的穿透只有这么
一半，大约会这么深。
瑟万-斯格博的委员会编写了一份“建议采取的预防措施”清单，内容包括：
● 除非情况紧急，不要让12岁以下的
儿童使用移动电话。
● 使用免提装置或扬声器模式，尽量让手机远离身体。
● 避免在信号弱或高速移动的状况下
使用手机。
● 尽量缩短手机通话时间。
瑟万-斯格博自己就是一名脑癌幸存者；尽管他急忙补充说，他的脑癌早在移动电话成为社会消费主流前就被诊断出来了。瑟万-斯格博指出，即使是他也有一款手机，而且会继续使用。他说，他的警告意在建立预防意识，这样，手机使用者和制造商们就可以避免（在出现手机隐患事故后）追悔莫及了。
注：国外研究数据显示，手机辐射对5岁小孩大脑的穿透率是75%，而对10岁儿童及成年人大脑的穿透率则分别为50%和25%。
