"Cellphones, Body Scanners, and Cancer"


Dr. Eric Swanson
University of Pittsburgh


The interactions of the human body with electricity and magnetism have fascinated people for centuries. I briefly review this fascination before moving on to modern concerns over possible carcinogenic effects of electromagnetic radiation. Specifically, a critical examination of recent claims that airport body scanners can cause cancer will be made.
