Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) spoke briefly about the cell phone health issue during a recent conference of scientists and government officials on that subject in Congress. Rep. Kucinich relates his personal experience of getting ‘headaches’ when using the cell phone and the precautionary measures he has applied to circumvent the effects.

Rep. Kucinich is the chair of the subcommittee of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform that held hearings last year about whether there is a link between cell phones and cancer. He expressed particular concern about the radiation effects on children, which he said is found to be “medically significant.” It may be worth noting that during that hearing, the cell phone industry executives declined his request to testify about the status of the scientific research on the topic.
