First study reports very low internal radioactivity after Fukushima disaster

Japanese researchers have found very low amounts of radioactivity in the bodies of about 10,000 people who lived near the Fukushima Daiichi power plant when it melted down. The first published study that measured the radiation within a large number of residents reassured health experts because the numbers reported imply only negligible health risks. The threat appeared to be considerably lower than in the aftermath of the Chernobyl accident, the experts agreed.

Study: Brain cells react to phone signal

The radiation emitted after just 50 minutes on a mobile phone increases the activity in brain cells, according to a new government-funded study.

Senh: Just to be on the safe side, use the speakerphone or a wired headphone, especially children who have smaller brains and thinner skulls.
