A February 16, 2007 piece by Mike Hughlet noted Dr. Robert Adair's skepticism, expressed in a piece on ACSH's HealthFactsAndFears.com, about claims of cell phone radiation dangers:
Greenebaum is in the camp that thinks that while research hasn't shown phone radiation is a health hazard, he won't discount the possibility. "I never say never."
But there are skeptics who will say never -- such a discovery would be too contrary to the principles of physics.
"I think it's impossible," said Robert Adair, an emeritus physics professor at Yale University and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. "The whole notion isn't even recognized by good biologists."
Many studies on the biological effects of weak radiation are subject to errors that follow from faulty processes, Adair wrote in a Web piece last fall for the American Council on Science and Health.
The notion that cell-phone radiation could have a biological effect is tantamount to a scientific hypothesis like cold fusion, he wrote.
