For most Americans, the cost of their cell phone contract is a much bigger worry than the potential effect of cell phones on their health. Two recent reports ask Americans to reconsider, warning that the amount of electro magnetic radiation from cell phones may be more harmful to our health than previously thought.

A study by the International EMF Collaborative questions the research the cellular telephone industry has relied on to show cell phone safety and another by the Environmental Working Group looks at the science and the technology, comparing radiation from various cell phone models in an user-friendly online database.
