Using a Mobile Phone is Safe – Latest Study

A recent research carried out by the Mitsubishi Chemical Safety Institute (MCSI) (sponsored by Japan’s three largest mobile phone operators, SoftBank Mobile Corp, NTT DoCoMo and KDDI Corp) has concluded that high powered radio waves from mobile phone base stations appear to have no adverse effects on human tissue. Experiments involved researchers blasting samples of living cells from brain, skin and lung tissue with radio waves up to 10 times stronger than legal safety limits for mobile base station transmitters.
The researchers claimed that no adverse effects were detectable even after as much as 96 hours of exposure.

This has added further fuel to the ongoing controversy of weather using a Mobile Phone is actually safe. Research into the health effects of mobile phone use has produced a wide range of results.

Another study by the Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority found that long–term mobile phone use could slightly increase the risk of brain tumours developing on the side of the head where the phone is held. This effect was only observed in cases where the user had owned a mobile phone for more than 10 years.

With each research study concluding with conflicting remarks, it becomes increasingly difficult to make a concrete judgment. It is definitely not possible to stay away from using mobile phones, personally, I would resort to using a mobile only when absolutely necessary. Better still, using a handsfree is convenient, also lets you keep away from radiation if any after all.
