Motorola and cellphone radiation
When first reports that cell phone radiation could damage DNA emerged from the laboratory of Henry Lai and N.P. Singh in the 1990's, Motorola wrote a memo to their media advisors to announce their strategy, to war-game the science. Motorola wrote its PR company Burson-Marsteller on on the tactics they used to discredit the researchers, minimize the findings and calm the public.[3][4]
“It is critically important that third-party genetic experts, including respected authorities with no specific background in radiofrequency, be identified to speak on the following issues:
• Problems with the Lai-Singh and Sarkar studies [on an increase in single-strand DNA breaks in the brain cells of rats after a single two-hour exposure to 2.45 GHz microwaves, at power levels officially considered safe] • The health implications of DNA single-strand breaks.
We do not believe that Motorola should put anyone on camera. We must limit our corporate visibility and defer complex scientific issues to credible, qualified scientific experts. We have developed a list of independent experts in this field and are in the process of recruiting individuals willing and able to reassure the public on these matters.”
