2、of the electromagnetic radiation they emit are scientifically evaluated, he said.而且在移动电话发射塔的电磁辐射对人体健康的长期影响有一个合乎科学的评价之前， 不能建造更多的发射塔。 “Nobodys going to drop dead overnight but we should be asking for more scientific information .Robert Bell said at a conference on the health effects low-level radiatio
3、n. “没有人会在一个晚上就倒地死去， 但我们还是应该寻找更多的科学论据去指出它 的危害。 ”罗伯特贝尔在一次关于少量辐射对人体健康影响的会议上说。 “If mobile phones are found to be dangerous, they should carry a warning label until proper shields can be devised,” he said. 1“如果移动电话被证明有危害， 就应该在它上面贴一个号警告标签，直到设计出合适的隔离屏为止。 ”他说。A report widely circulated among the public says

9、more than three times that of adults6. 他说有个明显的证据表明，儿童以成年人三倍多的比例吸收微量辐射。 He adds that there is also evidence that if cancer sufferers are subjected to electromagnetic waves the growth rate of the disease accelerates. 同时，他补充说，还有一个证据证 明，如果癌症患者受到电磁波的辐射，就会导致疾病的加速恶化。5 Then who finances the research? 那么谁来资助
10、这项研究呢？According to Robert Bell, it is reasonable for the major telephone companies to fund it. 罗伯特贝尔号召规模较大的电话公司为其提供资金，Besides, he also urges the Government to set up a wide-ranging inquiry into possible health effects. 还极力主张政府进行一 系列广泛的关于辐射可能对身体健康有所影响的调查与研究。 词汇:mobile /adj.移动的 circulate / v.流传 electr
