Shillingford, Joia
-- The European Commission will soon unveil a research project on the potential
health risks of wireless phones. The EU's mobile phone expert Leo Koolen says
the research--to cost between 18 million and 24 million European currency
units--will start shortly and be financed jointly by the mobile phone industry
and the EC's research directorate, DGX11. The project will conduct a variety of
studies, including studies on the potential risk of brain cancer caused by
wireless phones, the impact of microwave radiation on existing tumors, the
effect of radiation fields on sleep patterns, and people who says they have
neurological symptoms because of mobile phone use. The results of some of these
studies will be released in two or three years, while others will not be
published for as many as five years. So far studies have provided little
evidence that mobile phones present a health risk, but for users concerned about
brain cancer lawsuits in the United States, there are measures they can take.
Users can obtain a hands-6.00 wireless model, purchase a phone shield, or talk
on their phone only when outside, since phones increase the strength of their
signals when inside buildings.
