Kathleen Deoul: How so?

Copulos: Well, a number of clothing manufacturers are marketing lines of clothes that have cell phone pockets. Indeed, what are called "Techno Clothes" are among the hottest new fashion trends. Levi Strauss has introduced its "L2" line of jeans with cell phone pockets, and some manufacturers are going even further. Trendy designers like Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, CK and Slates are all offering clothes that accommodate the growing range of personal electronics. Indeed, some are offering garments with multiple pockets to accommodate not only a cell phone, but MP3 players and Palm Pilots. And the trend is not limited to the youth market. The venerable high-end men's firm Books Brothers is offering cell phone pockets in the jackets of its suits and even Hickey-Freeman, one of the most conservative men's lines is offering it as an option. The inclusion of cell phone pockets is in part a response to consumer's who clearly wanted an alternative to carrying their cell phones in holsters attached to their belts or buried in a purse or briefcase. But it is also a way to give clothing an updated "cool" look.

Kathleen Deoul: Well I don't know about looking "cool," but I certainly can sympathize with the notion of having a convenient place for my cell phone. I'm sure most women have had the frustrating experience of trying to find a ringing cell phone buried somewhere in their purse, only to miss the call by the time they found it.

Copulos: Exactly. The only trouble is that in exchange for having your cell phone in a convenient pocket, you are increasing the risk of exposure to its radiation. If your cell phone, or PDA or portable CD player is in a purse or briefcase, it is not in direct contact with your body. But if it is in a garment pocket, it is in direct proximity.

Kathleen Deoul: So what you're saying is that it's better to keep your cell phone in your purse or briefcase.

Copulos: Exactly. But the principal of distance applies in relation to many things besides your cell phone.

Kathleen Deoul: What would some of those be?

Copulos: Well, one of the most obvious is your television. When your mother told you not to sit to close to the TV or you'd ruin you eyes, she was more right than she realized. In this case, though, it is not microwave radiation that is the concern, but rather the electromagnetic field or EMF your set generated.
