No, but it is worth looking at their backgrounds (none of which are linked, incidentally) to get some idea of the basis for their signing the petition. It appears that few of the signatories actually have any qualifications relating to physics, for instance - an important field when one starts looking at radiation.
Similarly, the ‘Cellular Phone Task Force’ expects the reader to take its quotations of governments at face value, providing very few links. One of the links, claiming the UK Department of Education recommended that children under 16 should only use cell phones in an emergency, is to a (dead) Zambian site! It is also not clear whether that recommendation is medically or socially based. Another link is to the CPTF’s own website, and is signed by several dentists and ‘natural healers’. The third (I’m going in order) is again dead. We continue with a link to a US/Canadian fire fighters union website (i.e. science-free), and several more websites that are clearly not science-based.
I think you mean ARPANSA. It employs scientists who actually study these things.
To summarise the evidence to which you are linking, it is of the same quality as claims I have seen about vaccines causing autism (i.e. very little science and a lot of pseudoscience). If there are facts in there, they are deeply buried under the detritus.
As for the link to PubMed/NCBI, I look forward to the study being replicated. That’s how science advances, and so a meta-analysis of the studies is a good place to start. The fact that in vitro results are different to live results suggests that the study to which Mercola links is not particularly useful on its own and further work is required.
By your understanding of the precautionary principle cars and trains would have remained limited to a top speed of 10-15mph, as it was thought travelling any faster would cause serious damage to the human body. We would not have planes (as a side note, the airline industry has managed to retain a limited liability for any crashes that was first introduced so the industry could take off). Microwave ovens are obviously dangerous, as is electricity itself.
The precautionary principle is a risk management tool - no more. And anything published by Mercola remains highly unlikely at best.
Edit: I have now done a search for that recommendation in the UK that children under 16 should not use mobile phones.
The concern has nothing to do with radiation, it is about disruptions to education and comes from a man who says that you should give a child a smartphone “whenever you’re comfortable with them viewing pornography”. Not quite what is represented by the CPTF and its broken link to a Zambian article about the story, and this makes the rest of that website’s claims suspect - putting it into the Mercola category.
