Mobile phone study to establish long-term risks

"The Finnish group concluded that people who had used their phones for at least 10 years had a 39 per cent increased risk of developing nervous system tumors called gliomas on the side of their heads they held their handsets."

" This concluded those who had used a mobile for 10 years or more had double the risk of developing a glioma and were 2.4 times more likely to be diagnosed with a tumour on a nerve connecting the ear to the brain.

Prof Hardell said yesterday: "It has been shown pretty consistently in studies that there is an increased risk of brain tumours for people using mobile phones for at least 10 years.

"We should be adopting the precautionary principle.

"Cars should be fitted with external antennas, people should use hands-free kits and children should only make calls in emergencies." "

I'm glad someone is studying this in more depth. I don't think anyone could be completely comfortable with the industry assurances that the phones are completely safe.
