Last San Francisco CTIA Meeting Begins As New Book Disconnect Warns of Cell Phone Radiation 3


The last meeting CTIA (International Association for the Wireless Telecommunications Industry) will hold at San Francisco’s Moscone Center begins today, while Dr. Devra Davis is in town promoting her new book Disconnect: The Truth About Cell Phone Radiation, What the Industry Has Done to Hide It, and How to Protect Your Family.

Plans for this year’s CTIA convention were already set when the San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed an ordinance in June 2010 requiring consumer information about cell phone radiation at the point of sale. CTIA retaliated by announcing it would no longer hold conventions in San Francisco, and filed a lawsuit against San Francisco over the new ordinance.

Dr. Davis is speaking at noon today at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco; she appeared yesterday on two radio programs in the Bay area. Audio archives are available online:
1. KALW’s Your Call – Rose Agilar interviews Dr. Davis and Debbie Raphael of San Francisco’s Department of the Environment.
2. KPFA’s Your Own Health & Fitness – Layna Berman interviews Dr. Davis, Ellie Marks and Lloyd Morgan. Ellie Marks is founder of the California Brain Tumor Association and Lloyd Morgan is primary author of the report Cell Phones and Brain Tumors: 15 Reasons for Concern

Time Magazine posted a review of Davis’ new book on its EcoCentric blog: Health: A Cancer Muckraker Takes on Cell Phones.
