A
six year research programme claims that there are no short term health
problems involved with using mobile phones.
However the report, from
Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research (MTHR) programme, there was a
"slight hint" of a cancer risk for long-term users.
Experts could not
rule out the risks of brain or ear cancers for people who have used mobiles
for more than 10 years. However they found no association between
incidence and exposure for people who have used their phones for less than
10 years.
The £8.8m MTHR programme was joint-funded by the government and
the mobile phone industry in response to Sir William Stewart's independent
inquiry into the safety of mobile phones in 2000.
