▪︎A little-known warning from the manufacturer hidden within your cellphone manual advises you to keep the device at a certain distance from your body to ensure you don’t exceed federal safety limits for radiofrequency (RF) exposure.

▪︎廠商在手機說明書中隱藏了一個鮮為人知的警告，建議你將設備與身體保持一定距離，以確保你不會超過聯邦射頻（RF）暴露的安全限制。

▪︎Depending on the manufacturer, you need to keep your cellphone at least 5 to 15 (0.19 to 0.59 inches) millimeters away from your head and body at all times to avoid exceeding the safety limit for RF exposure.

▪︎根據製造商的不同，你需要將手機與你的頭部和身體保持至少5至15（0.19至0.59英寸）毫米的距離，以避免超過射頻暴露的安全限制。

▪︎In the real world, most people carry their phones close to their bodies, usually in a pocket or bra. When popular cellphones were tested in direct contact with the body, they all exceeded the safety limit.

▪︎在現實世界中，大多數人都把手機貼身攜帶，通常放在口袋或胸罩裡。當流行的手機與身體直接接觸時進行測試，它們都超過了安全限制。

▪︎The specific absorption rate (SAR) is a measure of how much RF energy your body will absorb from the device when held at a specific distance from your body (ranging from 5 to 15 mm, depending on the manufacturer). It’s important to realize that the SAR value is not an indication of how safe your phone is.

▪︎特異性吸收率（SAR）是衡量當手機與身體保持特定距離（從5到15毫米不等，取決於製造商）時，你的身體會吸收多少射頻能量。重要的是要認識到，SAR值並不能說明你的手機有多安全。

▪︎SAR testing, which is modeled on a very large male head, was devised before cellphone usage became commonplace among toddlers and young children, whose skulls allow for far greater RF energy penetration.

▪︎SAR測試是以一個非常大的男性頭部為模型，是在幼兒和兒童普遍使用手機之前設計的，他們的頭骨允許更大的射頻能量穿透。

This article was previously published on March 16, 2019, and has been updated with new information.

本文曾於2019年3月16日發表，現已更新為新信息。

In this special edition of CBC Marketplace, originally aired in March 2017, journalist Wendy Mesley investigates the safety of cellphones, focusing on a little-known warning from the manufacturer hidden within the cellphone manual that advises you to keep the device at a certain distance from your body to ensure you don’t exceed the federal safety limit for radiofrequency (RF) exposure.

在這個最初於2017年3月播出的CBC市場特別節目中，記者溫迪-梅斯利調查了手機的安全性，重點是製造商隱藏在手機手冊中的一個鮮為人知的警告，建議你將設備與身體保持一定距離，以確保你不會超過聯邦射頻（RF）暴露的安全限制。

In the real world, however, most people carry their phones close to their bodies, usually in a pocket.

然而，在現實世界中，大多數人的手機都是貼身攜帶，通常放在口袋裡。

Many women even tuck their phone right into their bra which, by the way, is the absolute worst area for a woman to put it, as it could raise their risk of both heart problems and breast tumors, their two leading risks of death.

許多婦女甚至把手機塞進她們的胸罩裡，順便說一下，這絕對是婦女最不應該放手機的地方，因為這可能會提高她們患心臟問題和乳腺腫瘤的風險，這是她們的兩大死亡風險。

What’s more, while the safe use information is provided by all cellphone manufacturers, you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who has actually been able to find the message on their phone, without detailed instructions on where to locate it.

更重要的是，雖然所有的手機製造商都提供了安全使用信息，但你很難找到一個真正能夠在他們的手機上找到該信息的人，而且沒有詳細說明在哪裡能找到它。

 

What the manufacturer’s warning says？
製造商的警告說什麼？

While the safe use warning may differ slightly from one phone to the next, the basics remain the same. Mesley reads the information from her iPhone:

雖然每部手機的安全使用警告可能略有不同，但基本內容仍然是一樣的。梅斯利從她的 iPhone 上讀到了這些信息。

“To reduce exposure to RF energy, use a hands-free option, such as speakerphone … Carry iPhone at least 5 millimeters [mm] away from your body to ensure exposure levels remain at or below the as-tested levels.”

"為了減少對射頻能量的暴露，請使用免提選項，如免提電話...... 攜帶 iPhone 時要離身體至少5毫米[mm]，以確保暴露水平保持在或低於測試的水平。"

According to the report, “81% of Canadians have never seen the message in their phone or manual about carrying their phone 5 to 15 mm away (0.19 to 0.59 inches) from their body.”

根據該報告，"81%的加拿大人從未在他們的手機或手冊中看到關於將手機帶離身體5至15毫米（0.19至0.59英寸）的信息"。

What’s more, few really understand what it all means. Is it dangerous to have the phone touching your body? Mesley sets out to discover what the warning means for consumers.

更重要的是，很少有人真正理解這一切意味著什麼。手機接觸你的身體有危險嗎？梅斯利開始探索這個警告對消費者意味著什麼。

 

The Berkeley controversy
伯克利的爭論

Mesley visits Berkeley, California, where the city council passed a cellphone “Right to Know” ordinance, requiring cellphone retailers to put up signage informing customers that carrying their cellphone in their pocket or bra when the phone is on may result in RF exposure that exceeds federal safety guidelines.

梅斯利訪問了加利福尼亞州伯克利市，該市議會通過了一項手機"知情權"條例，要求手機零售商張貼標語，告知顧客在手機開機時將手機放在口袋或胸罩中，可能會導致超過聯邦安全準則的射頻暴露。

The ordinance was initially proposed in 2010 and passed in 2015.

該條例最初於2010年提出，於2015年通過。

In response, the wireless industry (CTIA) sued Berkeley, claiming the ordinance violates free speech rights by forcing retailers to share this information.

作為回應，無線行業（CTIA）起訴了伯克利，聲稱該條例強迫零售商分享這些信息，違反了言論自由權。

Considering the information in question is hidden in the manual of every cellphone sold, and is required by federal law, this legal wrangling sure makes it appear as though the manufacturers have hidden the warning on purpose, and really do not want consumers to find or know about it.

考慮到這些信息隱藏在每部售出的手機的說明書中，並且是聯邦法律所要求的，這種法律上的爭論肯定會讓人覺得製造商是故意隱藏警告的，而且真的不希望消費者發現或知道這些信息。

Berkeley mayor Jesse Arreguin believes the lawsuit was launched to prevent other areas from following suit. If Berkeley can require cellphone retailers to post warnings, before you know it, the safety message might be required to be posted in every store across the nation.

伯克利市長Jesse Arreguin認為發起訴訟是為了防止其他地區效仿。如果伯克利能要求手機零售商張貼警告，在你知道之前，安全信息可能會被要求張貼在全國的每家商店。

 

What you need to know about your phone’s SAR value
關於你的手機的SAR值，你需要知道什麼？

As noted by Mesley, whether your phone should be kept 5, 10 or 15 mm away from your body in order to prevent RF exposure exceeding federal safety limits has to do with how the phone was tested.

正如梅斯利所指出的，為了防止射頻暴露超過聯邦安全限制，你的手機應該與你的身體保持5、10或15毫米的距離，這與手機的測試方式有關。

In the film, she brings three newly purchased cellphones to RF Exposure Lab in San Marcos, California, one of several labs across the U.S. that conducts specific absorption rate (SAR) testing for cellphones.

在影片中，她帶著三部新買的手機來到加州聖馬科斯的射頻暴露實驗室，該實驗室是美國各地對手機進行比吸收率（SAR）測試的幾個實驗室之一。

The specific absorption rate (SAR) is a measure of how much RF energy your body will absorb from the device when held at a specific distance from your body (ranging from 5 to 15 mm, depending on the manufacturer).

比吸收率（SAR）是衡量當設備與你的身體保持特定距離（從5到15毫米不等，取決於製造商）時，你的身體會吸收多少射頻能量。

It’s important to realize that the SAR value is not an indication of overall safety. As explained by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC):

重要的是要認識到，SAR值並不是整體安全的一個指標。正如聯邦通信委員會（FCC）所解釋的。

“Many people mistakenly assume that using a cellphone with a lower reported SAR value necessarily decreases a user’s exposure to RF emissions, or is somehow ‘safer’ than using a cellphone with a high SAR value.

"許多人錯誤地認為，使用報告SAR值較低的手機一定會減少用戶對射頻輻射的暴露，或者比使用SAR值高的手機更'安全'。

“While SAR values are an important tool in judging the maximum possible exposure to RF energy from a particular model of cellphone, a single SAR value does not provide sufficient information about the amount of RF exposure under typical usage conditions to reliably compare individual cellphone models.

"雖然SAR值是判斷某一型號手機可能暴露於射頻能量的最大限度的重要工具，但單一的SAR值並不能提供關於典型使用條件下的射頻暴露量的足夠信息，以可靠地比較各個手機型號。

“Rather, the SAR values collected by the FCC are intended only to ensure that the cellphone does not exceed the FCC’s maximum permissible exposure levels even when operating in conditions which result in the device’s highest possible — but not its typical — RF energy absorption for a user.”

"相反，FCC收集的SAR值只是為了確保手機不超過FCC的最大允許暴露水平，即使在導致設備可能的最高--但不是其典型--用戶的射頻能量吸收的條件下運行。"

 

Why SAR ratings are terribly flawed
為什麼SAR評級有很大的缺陷

In a nutshell, the phone is tested to assess how much RF energy is emitted when used under the worst of conditions. “We’re transmitting as if you were as far away from a base station as you can get and still make a call. This is the worst case it could ever get to be for a cellphone,” the lab technician explains.

簡而言之，對手機進行測試，以評估在最惡劣的條件下使用時，會釋放出多少射頻能量。 "我們在發射的時候，就好像你離基站有多遠，就能打多少電話。這是手機可能出現的最糟糕的情況，"該實驗室技術人員解釋說。

The testing itself was in fact devised long before cellphone usage became commonplace among toddlers and young children, whose skulls allow for far greater RF energy penetration.

事實上，測試本身是在幼兒和兒童普遍使用手機之前設計的，他們的頭骨允許更大的射頻能量穿透。

With the phone emitting at maximum power, a sensor is then used to measure the depth to which the RF energy is able to penetrate into the dummy head.

在手機發出最大功率的情況下，一個傳感器被用來測量射頻能量能夠穿透假人頭部的深度。

All the SAR rating seeks to measure is the short-term thermal effect of the radiation on your body, defined in terms of how much power is absorbed (watts) per unit of tissue (kilogram).

所有SAR等級試圖測量的是輻射對你身體的短期熱效應，定義為每單位組織（公斤）吸收多少功率（瓦特）。

Different types of tissue, such as bone, brain, muscle and blood, all have differing levels of density and conductivity, which also affect the absorption rate. What this means is that a SAR rating is highly dependent on which part of your body is exposed to the radiation.

不同類型的組織，如骨骼、大腦、肌肉和血液，都有不同程度的密度和傳導性，這也會影響吸收率。這意味著，SAR等級在很大程度上取決於你身體的哪個部分被暴露在輻射中。

In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 1.6 W/kg per 1 gram of head tissue. There are several major problems with using SAR as our safety guideline.

在美國和加拿大，公眾使用的移動設備的SAR限制是每1克頭部組織1.6瓦/千克。用SAR作為我們的安全準則有幾個主要問題。

For starters, the anthropomorphic mannequin (SAM) used to measure SAR is modeled after attributes of the heads of the top 10% of military recruits in 1989 — in other words, a 6-foot, 2-inch-tall, 220-pound male, which is larger than 97% of the American population.

首先，用於測量SAR的擬人模型（SAM）是根據1989年新兵中排名前10%的人的頭部屬性製作的 -- 換句話說，一個6英尺2英寸高、220磅重的男性，比97%的美國人口還大。

This means anyone smaller than SAM is more vulnerable to radiation penetration, especially children.

這意味著任何小於SAM的人都更容易被輻射穿透，特別是兒童。

According to Om P. Gandhi, professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Utah:

根據猶他大學電氣和計算機工程教授 Om P. Gandhi 的說法。

“RF exposure to a head smaller than SAM will absorb a relatively higher SAR. The SAR for a 10-year-old is up to 153% higher than the SAR for the SAM model. When electrical properties are considered, a child’s head’s absorption can be over two times greater, and absorption of the skull’s bone marrow can be 10 times greater than adults.”

"小於SAM的頭部的射頻照射將吸收相對較高的SAR。一個10歲孩子的SAR比SAM模型的SAR高達153%。當考慮到電學特性時，兒童頭部的吸收可以超過2倍，頭骨骨髓的吸收可以比成人高10倍"。

Secondly, the FCC uses SAM to determine safe levels of ionizing radiation, not nonionizing radiation.

其次，FCC使用SAM來確定電離輻射的安全水平，而不是非電離輻射。

Because nonionizing forms of an electromagnetic field (EMF) have so much less energy than ionizing radiation, it had long been believed that nonionizing electromagnetic fields were harmless to humans and other biological systems.

由於非電離形式的電磁場（EMF）的能量比電離輻射小得多，所以長期以來，人們認為非電離電磁場對人類和其他生物系統無害。

However, as discussed below, science has shown nonionizing radiation can indeed cause physiological damage.

然而，正如下文所討論的，科學表明非電離輻射確實可以造成生理上的損害。

What’s more, the SAR of the radiation emitted by cellphones is only measured when the phone is actually on and in use, not when it’s sitting idle in your pocket (when it is still communicating with nearby cellphone towers and/or seeking the nearest Wi-Fi signal).

更重要的是，手機輻射的SAR值只有在手機實際開機和使用時才會被測量，而不是在手機閒置在口袋裡時（此時手機仍在與附近的手機信號塔進行通信和/或尋找最近的Wi-Fi信號）。

Lastly, SAR standards haven’t been updated since 1996, despite the fact that cellphone technology has changed dramatically since then.

最後，SAR標準自1996年以來一直沒有更新，儘管手機技術從那時起已經發生了巨大的變化。

 

Government research confirms safety concerns
政府研究證實了安全問題

Mesley visits Devra Davis Ph.D., who first became aware of the dangers of RF from cellphones and began speaking out about them in 2007. Since then, the scientific literature has doubled in size, and Davis is now more convinced of the dangers than ever.

梅斯利訪問了戴維拉-戴維斯博士，她第一次意識到手機射頻的危險，並在2007年開始發表意見。從那時起，科學文獻的規模增加了一倍，戴維斯現在比以往任何時候都更相信其危險性。

Among the more damning studies are two government-funded animal studies that reveal Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) and Code Division Multiple Access radiation have carcinogenic potential.

在這些更具破壞性的研究中，有兩項由政府資助的動物研究顯示，全球移動通信系統（GSM）和碼分多址輻射有致癌潛力。

The finalized report of these two studies — conducted by the National Toxicology Program (NTP), an interagency research program under the auspices of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences — was released on Nov. 1, 2018.

這兩項研究的最終報告 -- 由國家毒理學計劃（NTP）進行，這是國家環境健康科學研究所主持的機構間研究計劃 -- 於2018年11月1日發布。

While the preliminary report released in February 2018 significantly downplayed the findings, subsequent peer reviews upgraded the findings of risk.

雖然2018年2月發布的初步報告大大淡化了這些發現，但隨後的同行評審提升了風險的發現。

The NTP rates cancer risk based on four categories of evidence: “clear evidence” (highest), “some evidence,” “equivocal evidence,” and “no evidence” (lowest).

NTP根據四類證據來評定癌症風險："明確的證據"（最高），"一些證據"，"模糊的證據"和"沒有證據"（最低）。

According to the NTPs final report, the two studies, done on mice and rats of both sexes, found:

根據NTPs的最終報告，在小鼠和大鼠身上進行的這兩項研究發現：

▪︎Clear evidence for heart tumors (malignant schwannomas) in male rats. These types of tumors started developing around week 70, and are very similar to acoustic neuromas found in humans, a benign type of tumor that previous studies have linked to cellphone use.

▪︎雄性大鼠心臟腫瘤（惡性分裂膜瘤）的明確證據。這些類型的腫瘤在第70週左右開始發展，與在人類中發現的聽覺神經瘤非常相似，這是一種良性腫瘤，以前的研究將其與手機使用聯繫起來。

▪︎Some evidence of brain tumors (malignant gliomas) in male rats. Glial cell hyperplasias — indicative of precancerous lesions — began developing around week 58.

▪︎雄性大鼠的腦瘤（惡性膠質瘤）的一些證據。膠質細胞增生 -- 表明癌前病變 -- 在第58週左右開始發展。

▪︎Some evidence of adrenal gland tumors in male rats, both benign and malignant tumors and/or complex combined pheochromocytoma.

▪︎雄性大鼠腎上腺腫瘤的一些證據，包括良性和惡性腫瘤和/或複雜的聯合嗜鉻細胞瘤。

▪︎Equivocal or unclear evidence of tumors in female rats and mice of both genders.

▪︎雌性大鼠和兩性小鼠有明確或不明確的腫瘤證據。

The studies also found evidence of DNA damage and damage to heart tissue in exposed male and female rats, but not mice, as well as prostate, liver and pancreatic tumors in both rats and mice.

研究還發現，有證據表明，暴露的雄性和雌性大鼠（但不是小鼠）的DNA受損和心臟組織受損，以及大鼠和小鼠的前列腺、肝和胰腺腫瘤。

While the NTP insists the exposure — nine hours a day for two years, which is the lifetime of a rodent — is far more extensive than that of heavy cellphone users, I would strongly disagree, seeing how many, especially the younger generation, have their cellphones turned on and near their body 24/7. Many are literally sleeping with their phone beneath their pillow.

雖然NTP堅持認為這種接觸 -- 每天9小時，持續兩年，也就是囓齒動物的一生 -- 比重度手機用戶的接觸要廣泛得多，但我堅決不同意，因為有多少人，尤其是年輕一代，他們的手機24小時開著，並靠近他們的身體。許多人在睡覺時都把手機放在枕頭下面。

What’s more, cellphones are not the sole source of RF. Tablets, computers, smart TVs, wireless baby monitors and smart meters, just to name a few, are also sources of similarly harmful radiation.

更重要的是，手機並不是唯一的射頻來源。平板電腦、計算機、智能電視、無線嬰兒監視器和智能電錶，僅舉幾例，也是類似的有害輻射源。

 

NTP findings reproduced at power levels below FCC limits
NTP的研究結果在低於FCC限制的功率水平下重現

Corroborating evidence was also published by the Ramazzini Institute just one month after the NTP released its preliminary report in February 2018.

就在NTP於2018年2月發布初步報告的一個月後，拉馬茲尼研究所也發表了確鑿的證據。

The Ramazzini study reproduces and clearly supports the NTP’s findings, showing a clear link between cellphone radiation and Schwann cell tumors (schwannomas) — but at a much lower power level than that used by NTP.

拉馬茲尼的研究再現並明確支持NTP的研究結果，顯示手機輻射與許旺細胞瘤（schwannomas）之間存在明確的聯繫 -- 但其功率水平比NTP使用的低得多。

While NTP used RF levels comparable to what’s emitted by 2G and 3G cellphones (near-field exposure), Ramazzini simulated exposure to cellphone towers (far-field exposure).

NTP使用的射頻水平與2G和3G手機的輻射相當（近場暴露），而Ramazzini則模擬暴露在手機塔下（遠場暴露）。

Ramazzini’s rats were exposed to 1.8 GHz GSM radiation at electric field strengths of 5, 25 and 50 volts per meter for 19 hours a day, starting at birth until the rats died either from age or illness.

拉馬茲尼的大鼠每天19小時暴露在1.8GHz的GSM輻射中，電場強度為每米5伏、25伏和50伏，從出生開始，直到大鼠因年齡或疾病死亡。

To facilitate comparison, the researchers converted their measurements to watts per kilogram of body weight (W/kg), which is what the NTP used.

為了便於比較，研究人員將他們的測量值轉換為每公斤體重的瓦特（W/kg），這也是NTP使用的方法。

Overall, the radiation dose administered in the Ramazzini study was up to 1,000 times lower than the NTP’s — and below the U.S. limits set by the FCC — yet the results are strikingly similar.

總的來說，拉馬濟尼研究中的輻射劑量比NTP的輻射劑量低1000倍，而且低於美國聯邦通信委員會規定的限制，但結果卻驚人地相似。

As in the NTP studies, exposed male rats developed statistically higher rates of heart schwannomas than unexposed rats. They also found some evidence, although weaker, that RF exposure increased rates of glial tumors in the brains of female rats.

正如在NTP的研究中，接觸的雄性大鼠在統計學上比未接觸的大鼠患心臟分裂瘤的比率更高。他們還發現了一些證據，儘管比較弱，射頻暴露增加了雌性大鼠大腦中的膠質瘤比率。

 

Where are all the brain tumors?
所有的腦瘤都在哪裡？

To investigate whether brain tumors are something you need to be concerned with as a cellphone user, Mesley visits neuro-oncologist Dr. Jay Easaw in Edmonton, Canada, who shows her images of one of the worst brain tumors he’s ever seen, located on the side of the brain where the patient — a very heavy cellphone user — held his phone.

為了調查腦瘤是否是作為手機用戶需要關注的問題，梅斯利訪問了加拿大埃德蒙頓的神經腫瘤學家傑伊-伊索博士，他向她展示了他所見過的最嚴重的腦瘤之一的圖像，該腫瘤位於患者 -- 一個使用手機非常頻繁的手機用戶 -- 最常持有手機的那一側大腦。

Easaw has been part of the creation of a brain tumor registry, in the hopes of identifying causes.

伊索已經參與了腦瘤登記冊的創建，希望能找出原因。

He believes we’ll see more studies showing a correlation between cellphone use and brain tumors as time goes on and heavy users since childhood start entering adulthood.

他相信，隨著時間的推移和自童年以來的重度用戶開始進入成年階段，我們將看到更多的研究顯示手機使用和腦腫瘤之間的相關性。

“There’s no question that we’re seeing more young people coming into the clinic with brain tumors,” he says. “And the question is why.”

"他說："毫無疑問，我們看到越來越多的年輕人帶著腦瘤來到診所。"然而問題是為什麼。"

The incidence of glioblastoma multiforme (the deadliest type of brain tumor) more than doubled in the U.K. between 1995 and 2015.

1995年至2015年間，英國多形性膠質母細胞瘤（最致命的腦瘤類型）的發病率增加了一倍多。

According to the authors of the NTP analysis, this dramatic increase is likely due to “widespread environmental or lifestyle factors” — which would include cellphone usage.

根據NTP分析的作者，這種戲劇性的增長可能是由於"廣泛的環境或生活方式因素" - 這將包括手機的使用。

 

Mitochondrial dysfunction is the primary hazard
線粒體功能紊亂是主要危害

While brain tumors may indeed be a concern, in my view, it’s not the primary one. The evidence suggests the primary hazard of cellphone radiation is really systemic cellular and mitochondrial damage, which can contribute to any number of health problems and chronic diseases.

雖然腦瘤可能確實是一個問題，但在我看來，這並不是主要問題。證據表明，手機輻射的主要危害實際上是系統性的細胞和線粒體損傷，這可能導致任何數量的健康問題和慢性疾病。

While an estimated 84,000 U.S. men, women and children were diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2021, an estimated 787,000 people die from heart disease each year.

據估計，2021年有8.4萬名美國男性、女性和兒童被診斷為腦瘤，而每年估計有78.7萬人死於心臟病。

So, while the relative rarity of brain cancer may lead you to believe that cellphone use is safe, that’s only because you’re looking at a less prevalent outcome.

因此，雖然腦癌的相對罕見可能使你相信使用手機是安全的，但這只是因為你看到的是一個不太流行的結果。

The process of harm begins when low-frequency microwave radiation activates voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs), channels in the outer membrane of your cells.

當低頻微波輻射激活電壓門控鈣通道（VGCCs），即你的細胞外膜上的通道時，傷害的過程就開始了。

Once activated, the VGCCs open up, allowing an abnormal influx of calcium ions into the cell. This increased intracellular calcium and the accompanying increase in calcium signaling appear to be responsible for a majority of the damage that occurs.

一旦激活，VGCCs打開，允許鈣離子異常湧入細胞。這種細胞內鈣離子的增加和伴隨的鈣信號的增加似乎對所發生的大部分損害負責。

This is reviewed in more detail in my interview with professor Martin Pall below.

我在下面對馬丁-帕爾教授的採訪中對此進行了更詳細的回顧。

For example, excess calcium activates nitric oxide, and while nitric oxide has many health benefits, massively excessive nitric oxide reacts with superoxide to produce peroxynitrites — extremely potent oxidant stressors.

例如，過量的鈣會激活一氧化氮，雖然一氧化氮對健康有很多好處，但大量過量的一氧化氮會與超氧化物反應，產生過氧化亞硝酸鹽 -- 極強的氧化劑壓力。

Peroxynitrites in turn modify tyrosine molecules in proteins to create nitrotyrosine and nitration of structural protein.

過氧亞硝酸鹽反過來改變蛋白質中的酪氨酸分子，產生硝基酪氨酸和結構性蛋白質的硝化。

Changes from nitration are visible in human biopsy of atherosclerosis, myocardial ischemia, inflammatory bowel disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and septic lung disease. Peroxynitrites can also cause single-strand DNA breaks.

在動脈粥樣硬化、心肌缺血、炎症性腸病、肌萎縮性側索硬化症和膿毒症肺病的人體活檢中，可以看到硝化作用的變化。過氧亞硝酸鹽也能導致單鏈DNA斷裂。

This pathway of oxidative destruction — triggered by low-frequency radiation emitted from mobile devices — may partially explain the unprecedented growth rate of chronic disease since 1990, and is a far greater concern than brain tumors.

這種氧化破壞的途徑 -- 由移動設備發出的低頻輻射引發 -- 可能部分地解釋了自1990年以來慢性病的空前增長速度，而且比腦瘤更值得關注。

Heart problems, neurological disorders and infertility
心臟問題、神經系統疾病和不孕症

Cellphone radiation has also been shown to have a significant impact on neurological and mental health, contributing to and/or worsening anxiety, depression and dementia, for example, and all of these conditions are rampant and growing more prevalent, even if brain cancer cases are lagging.

手機輻射也被證明對神經系統和心理健康有重大影響，例如，導致和/或加重焦慮、抑鬱和癡呆，所有這些情況都很猖獗，而且越來越普遍，即使腦癌病例滯後。

(This also makes sense as brain dysfunction will occur much faster than a tumor, which can take decades.)

(這也是有道理的，因為大腦功能障礙的發生要比腫瘤快得多，腫瘤可能需要幾十年的時間）。

Research also suggests excessive EMF exposure is contributing to reproductive problems. For example, researchers have found prenatal exposure to power-frequency fields can nearly triple a pregnant woman’s risk of miscarriage.

研究還表明，過量的電磁場暴露是導致生殖問題的原因。例如，研究人員發現產前暴露在電源頻率場中，會使孕婦流產的風險增加近三倍。

According to the lead author and senior research scientist at Kaiser Permanente’s research division, Dr. De-Kun Li, “This study provides fresh evidence, directly from a human population, that magnetic field exposure in daily life could have adverse health impacts,” adding his findings “should bring attention to this potentially important environmental hazard to pregnant women.”

據主要作者和 Kaiser Permanente 研究部門的高級研究科學家李德坤博士說："這項研究提供了直接來自人類群體的新鮮證據，表明日常生活中的磁場暴露可能對健康產生不利影響"，他補充說他的發現"應該使人們注意到這種潛在的對孕婦的重要環境危害"。

According to Li, there are at least six other studies, in addition to two of his own, showing this link. EMF exposure may also play a significant role in testicular cancer and male infertility.

據李說，除了他自己的兩項研究之外，至少還有其他六項研究顯示了這種聯繫。電磁輻射暴露也可能在睾丸癌和男性不育症中發揮重要作用。

Studies have linked low-level electromagnetic radiation exposure from cellphones to an 8% reduction in sperm motility and a 9% reduction in sperm viability.

研究表明，手機的低水平電磁輻射暴露與精子活力下降8%和精子活力下降9%有關。

Wi-Fi-equipped laptop computers have also been linked to decreased sperm motility and an increase in sperm DNA fragmentation after just four hours of use.

配備Wi-Fi的筆記本電腦在使用四個小時後也與精子活力下降和精子DNA碎片增加有關。

 

Government is not spearheading public safety measures
政府沒有帶頭採取公共安全措施

Again, the harms of RF are not related to the heating of tissue but, rather, a result of a cascade of molecular events resulting in severe oxidative damage.

同樣，射頻的危害與組織的加熱無關，而是一連串分子事件導致嚴重氧化損傷的結果。

As noted earlier, the evidence shows damage can occur even at levels far below the safety limit set for the U.S. and Canada.

如前所述，證據顯示，即使在遠低於為美國和加拿大設定的安全限制的水平上也會發生損害。

According to Mesley, more than 200 studies have been submitted to Health Canada showing harm from RF radiation at levels below the safety limit for which cellphones are tested.

據 Mesley 稱，已有200多項研究提交給加拿大衛生部，顯示射頻輻射的危害程度低於手機測試的安全限制。

Health Canada claims many of these studies simply aren’t good enough to base a decision on, and that “the totality of the science does not support a link to harm.”

加拿大衛生部聲稱，其中許多研究根本不足以作為決定的依據，而且"整個科學並不支持與傷害的聯繫"。

According to Mesley, Health Canada has even stated that “Even if a small child were exposed to a cellphone 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, there would be no adverse health effects.”

據梅斯利說，加拿大衛生部甚至表示，"即使一個小孩子一年365天、一天24小時暴露在手機中，也不會對健康產生不良影響"。

Rarely do absolute statements turn out to be accurate, and to unequivocally claim there are no health risks even for small children is taking a tremendous risk.

很少有絕對的聲明會被證明是準確的，而明確地聲稱即使對小孩子也沒有健康風險是在冒巨大的風險。

As noted by Davis, “We should not insist on proof that we have made people sick before taking steps to protect others.”

正如戴維斯所指出的，"我們不應該堅持在採取措施保護他人之前證明我們已經使人們生病了"。

 

How to limit your RF exposure
如何限制你的射頻暴露

While saying there’s no cause for concern, Health Canada still recommends replacing calls with texts, using hands-free devices and limiting use for children if you’re concerned about potential effects.

雖然說沒有理由擔心，但加拿大衛生部仍然建議用短信代替電話，使用免提設備，如果你擔心潛在的影響，就限制對兒童的使用。

The U.S. has taken an identical approach. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says that while any potential risk is “probably very small,” you can reduce your RF exposure by limiting the amount of time you spend on your cellphone and using the speaker or a headset to create more distance between the phone and your head.

美國也採取了相同的方法。美國食品和藥物管理局說，雖然任何潛在的風險"可能非常小"，但你可以通過限制你花在手機上的時間和使用揚聲器或耳機在手機和你的頭部之間創造更多的距離來減少你的射頻暴露。

There’s no doubt in my mind that RF exposure from cellphones and other wireless devices is a significant hazard to your health that will damage your DNA and contribute to chronic disease and premature aging.

在我看來，毫無疑問，手機和其他無線設備的射頻暴露是對你的健康的重大危害，它將損害你的DNA並導致慢性疾病和過早衰老。

It needs to be addressed if you’re concerned about your health and that of your family.

如果你關心自己和家人的健康，就需要解決這個問題。

To protect yourself and your family from cellphone radiation and other sources of harmful electromagnetic fields, consider taking the following precautions:

為了保護自己和家人免受手機輻射和其他有害電磁場來源的影響，考慮採取以下預防措施：

▪︎Avoid carrying your cellphone on your body unless in airplane mode and never sleep with it in your bedroom unless it is in airplane mode. Even in airplane mode, it can emit signals, which is why I put my phone in a Faraday bag.

▪︎避免將手機帶在身上，除非是在飛行模式下，也不要在臥室裡帶著手機睡覺，除非是在飛行模式下。即使在飛行模式下，它也會發出信號，這就是為什麼我把手機放在法拉第袋裡。

▪︎When using your cellphone, use the speaker phone and hold the phone at least 3 feet away from you.

▪︎使用手機時，請使用揚聲器，並將手機拿在離你至少3英尺的地方。

▪︎Seek to radically decrease your time on your cellphone. Instead, use VoIP software phones that you can use while connected to the internet via a wired connection.

▪︎︎設法從根本上減少使用手機的時間。取而代之的是，使用VoIP軟件電話，你可以在通過有線連接到互聯網時使用。

▪︎Connect your desktop computer to the internet via a wired Ethernet connection and be sure to put your desktop in airplane mode. Also avoid wireless keyboards, trackballs, mice, game systems, printers and portable house phones. Opt for the wired versions.

▪︎將你的桌式電腦通過有線以太網連接到互聯網，並確保將你的桌式電腦置於飛行模式。同時避免使用無線的鍵盤、軌跡球、鼠標、遊戲系統、打印機和便攜式家用電話。選擇有線版本。

▪︎If you must use Wi-Fi, shut it off when not in use, especially at night when you are sleeping. Ideally, work toward hardwiring your house so you can eliminate Wi-Fi altogether. If you have a notebook without any Ethernet ports, a USB Ethernet adapter will allow you to connect to the internet with a wired connection.

▪︎如果你必須使用Wi-Fi，在不使用時關閉它，特別是在晚上睡覺時。理想的情況是，努力為你的房子安裝硬接線，這樣你就可以完全消除Wi-Fi。如果你的筆記本沒有任何以太網端口，一個USB以太網適配器將使你能夠通過有線連接來連接互聯網。

▪︎Shut off the electricity to your bedroom at night. This typically works to reduce electrical fields from the wires in your wall unless there is an adjoining room next to your bedroom. If that is the case you will need to use a meter to determine if you also need to turn off power in the adjacent room.

︎▪︎晚上關閉臥室的電源。這通常是為了減少牆內電線的電場，除非你的臥室旁邊有一個相鄰的房間。如果是這樣的話，你將需要使用電錶來確定你是否也需要關閉鄰近房間的電源。

▪︎Use a battery-powered alarm clock, ideally one without any light. I use a talking clock for the visually impaired.

▪︎使用電池供電的鬧鐘，最好是沒有任何燈光的。我使用的是視力障礙者的有聲時鐘。

▪︎If you still use a microwave oven, consider replacing it with a steam convection oven, which will heat your food as quickly and far more safely.

▪︎︎如果你仍然使用微波爐，考慮用蒸汽對流爐代替它，它可以同樣快速地加熱你的食物，而且更安全。

▪︎Avoid using “smart” appliances and thermostats that depend on wireless signaling. This would include all new “smart” TVs. They are called smart because they emit a Wi-Fi signal and, unlike your computer, you cannot shut the Wi-Fi signal off. Consider using a large computer monitor as your TV instead, as they don’t emit Wi-Fi.

▪︎避免使用依賴無線信號的"智能"電器和恆溫器。這將包括所有新的"智能"電視。它們之所以被稱為智能，是因為它們會發出Wi-Fi信號，而且與你的電腦不同，你無法關閉Wi-Fi信號。考慮使用大型電腦顯示器作為你的電視，因為它們不會發出Wi-Fi信號。

▪︎Refuse smart meters as long as you can, or add a shield to an existing smart meter, some of which have been shown to reduce radiation by 98 to 99%. Consider moving your baby’s bed into your room instead of using a wireless baby monitor. Alternatively, use a hard-wired monitor.

• 盡可能拒絕使用智能電錶，或在現有的智能電錶上加裝防護罩，有些防護罩已被證明可以減少98%至99%的輻射。考慮把寶寶的床搬到你的房間，而不是使用無線嬰兒監視器。或者，使用硬接線的監視器。

▪︎Replace CFL bulbs with incandescent bulbs. Ideally, remove all fluorescent lights from your house. Not only do they emit unhealthy light, but more importantly, they will actually transfer current to your body just being close to the bulbs.

▪︎用白熾燈泡替換節能燈泡。理想情況下，把所有的熒光燈從你的房子裡移走。它們不僅發出不健康的光，更重要的是，只要靠近燈泡，它們實際上就會把電流傳給你的身體。
