“Game-Changing” Study Links Cellphone Radiation to Cancer

43. Way back in the 90's the cell phones transmitted with a lot more power than they do now.

Look at 1998. The newer cell phones are really low power and even less when close to a cell site. So if you are in the city with good cell coverage your cell phone will be transmitting with lower power than if you are in an area with weak coverage (lees bars). Back in the early cell phone days the frequencies used were in the 800 mHz range. The 800 mHz frequencies are now supplemented with 1900 mHz frequencies. Generally it has always been thought that the higher the frequency the more dangerous it is at a given power level and distance to the body. Around 2006 is when the move to the higher frequencies really took off with a vengeance. When the cell companies start using the 600 mHz and 700 mHz frequencies things might start getting better.

Now when you are thinking about a police car or most mobile radios in the 800-900 mHz range the power output is in the range of 10 -50 watts of power compared to the average cell phone of around .05 watt at maximum power.
