One of my readers sent this to me.

Five young women in the ninth grade in Denmark devised a science fair project to see the effects of their cell phones on plants. I had to smile at this because it reminded me of a science fair project I did in the ninth grade to see if there was a listening to classical music or rock music made a difference to plants.

Here is what was forwarded to me:

It started with an observation and a question. The girls noticed that if they slept with their mobile phones near their heads at night, they often had difficulty concentrating at school the next day. They wanted to test the effe ct of a cellphone’s radiation on humans, but their school, Hjallerup School in Denmark, did not have the equipment to handle such an experiment. So the girls designed an experiment that would test the effect of cellphone radiation on a plant instead.

The students placed six trays filled with Lepidium sativum, a type of garden cress into a room without radiation, and six trays of the seeds into another room next to two routers that according to the girls calculations, emitted about the same type of radiation as an ordinary cellphone.

Over the next 12 days, the girls observed, measured, weighed and photographed their results. Although by the end of the experiment the results were blatantly obvious ? the cress seeds placed near the router had not grown. Many of them were completely dead. While the cress seeds planted in the other room , away from the routers, thrived.

The experiment earned the girls (pictured below) top honors in a regional science competition and the interest of scientists around the world.

According to Kim Horsevad, a teacher at Hjallerup Skole in Denmark were the cress experiment took place, a neuroscience professor at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, is interested in repeating the experiment in controlled professional scientific environments.

In my experiment, the results were the same. The seeds wouldn’t sprout. I also did an experiment trying to sprout seeds in microwaved water. Again, they didn’t sprout.

This is why I use a Pong case to reduce radiation up to 95% from my cell phone. I also now only use my cell phone in speaker phone mode and do not hold it up to my ear. I only use my cell phone when I’m away from my landline, which I always use at home.
