Here’s some radical movement by the city of San Francisco, all phone retailers in San Francisco must reveal cellphone radiation levels on each of their phones.

I think this is a really great idea because so little has been known about the radiation levels in cellphones and how they could possibly be causing cancer over the long term.

I really think they should do this nationwide.  Well, at least I am lucky enough to live in the city that does require the new law.

I remember hearing about this about 6 months back, it’s a good thing they are starting to take action about it.

Cast by backers as a pro-consumer measure, the ordinance would not ban the sale of certain cell phones but would require retailers to provide the “specific absorption rate” – a measurement of radiation registered with the Federal Communications Commission – next to phones displayed in their shops. Consumers also would be notified about where they can get more educational materials.
