Burlingame Bill Echoes SF Cell Phone Radiation Law

Monday night at 7 p.m. at Burlingame City Hall, City Council members will consider the question of how much cell phone users have the right to know about the radiation leaking into their heads.

In June, San Francisco made national news by enacting legislation requiring retailers to prominently post the radiation levels emitted by cell phones. Tonight, the Burlingame City Council will hold an informational meeting to hear about a similar ordinance in development by City Councilman Michael Brownrigg.

Among those speaking will be a rep from the Cellular Telephone Industry Association and a researcher from the Environmental Health Trust, who is the author of a paper entitled “Cellphones and Brain Tumors.”
