TV Interview with Dr. Carlo (Campbell Live,
TV3)
Dr. Carlo talks about the cell phone
industry's marketing towards children and the
epidemic projections from cell phone
use.George Carlo and Martin Schram are aiming
to become information-age Ralph Naders. They
ask a question that ought to concern
America's 103 million mobile phone users, as
well as those who merely come within earshot
of these popular devices: Is the wireless
future a threat to public health? "Visit any
public building, college classroom,
courthouse, or commuter train, and look
around: You'll see people using not just
wireless phones but also wireless laptop
computers and miniature palm tops," write
Carlo and Schram. "What you won't see are the
microwaves that are criss-crossing a confined
space where a number of people who are not
even using these instruments are bombarded by
these waves." It sounds creepy. And Carlo, an
epidemiologist who once oversaw a
multimillion-dollar research project on
health for the cellular industry, believes
the news is not good: there may be a link
between cell phone use and brain tumors. The
research is not conclusive, but Carlo and
Schram think it's disturbing enough to
warrant government action. Needless to say,
the industry that once backed Carlo's work
now considers him persona non grata.
Due largely to Carlo's coauthorship, Cell
Phones is unavoidably a one-sided story. Key
business figures didn't agree to interviews.
In fact, this might have been a better book
if it were written by Schram, with Carlo as
one of several major characters rather than a
collaborator. Then again, it would lack the
passionate advocacy that will draw many
readers to it. And even the most skeptical
may want to take a few of the simple safety
precautions the authors recommend in a
concluding chapter, such as wearing a headset
or earpiece when using a cell phone, in order
to keep a distance from the
radiation-emitting antennae. One look at the
x-ray photos reproduced in the book, which
show how radiation easily penetrates skulls,
will give even the most impervious observer
second thoughts. One thing is probably
certain: This book is a harbinger of
litigation. If Carlo and Schram are correct
about their concerns, the cellular
industry--as unbelievable as it sounds--may
go the way of Big Tobacco. --John J. Miller

From Publishers Weekly
In 1993, when the cell phone industry's chief
lobbyist hired epidemiologist and pathologist
Carlo to refute claims that cell phones,
which had never been subjected to premarket
testing, cause cancer, no one thought he
would discover otherwise. But after six years
of exhaustive analysis and scrupulous peer
review, the results proved, according to this
report, that radiation from a cell phone's
antenna can cause the formation of
micronuclei red flags for cancer in the
brain. Children in particular are more
susceptible to the radiation than adults.
Carlo reported his findings to the industry
and the FDA and advocated for continued
research, but both parties still maintain
that cell phones are safe. Here, Carlo and
syndicated columnist Schram retrace Carlo's
scientific undertaking and what they cast as
a sinister web of corporate greed and
masterful PR "spin" that choked his efforts.
Schram provides the primary narrative, with
Carlo's insights and recollections scattered
throughout, a format that grows repetitive.
Despite the captivating story, many consumers
won't want to slog through the detailed
scientific explanations to get to the
bottom-line safety recommendations.
Journalists, policymakers and consumer
advocacy groups, however, will find this
no-holds-barred book extraordinarily
informative as they continue investigations
of the industry. Agent, Ronald L. Goldfarb.

| Carlo Dall' Anese e Fabio Castro - Monday |
 |
Life still goes on
Like weeks that come and go
Some people are like mondays
And some others precious gold
Beyond the deepest land of truth
Beyond what means
Beyond what is
The walls around my heart
It is sunny
but cloudy inside
Get past my monday morning
It's so hard to see you go
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
Oh no...
Get past this sounds of winter
and move on to the next girl
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I didn't think so...
