New is often frightening, and the precautionary principle suggests that in the absence of proof of safety, one should err heavily on the side of caution. On the other hand, we've recently seen several examples of warning sirens being sounded in the face of convincing evidence to the contrary. Cell phones and putative cancer risk certainly fits this bill, and this week offered a good example with the head of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute issuing a warning to employees over the use of cell phones that appears to fly in the face of multiple studies. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080725-cancer-center-hangs-up-on-science-dials-up-cell-warning.html">The idea that cell phones cause cancer is one that we've <A href="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080218-israeli-phone-cancer-link-magic-8-ball-says-dont-worry.html">touched</A> <A href="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070125-8705.html">on</A> <A href="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20061206-8366.html">repeatedly</A> <A href="http://arstechnica.com/journals/science.ars/2007/09/13/is-there-biology-behind-cell-phone-fears">here</A> <A href="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060331-6502.html">at</A> <A href="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060120-6020.html">Ars</A>.
