Communicating evidence and uncertainties on health risks from regular use of mobile phones

摘要

The use of mobile phones is becoming one of the most widespread modes of exposure of the population to non-ionising radiation; this kind of radiation exposure is still not related to any disease. So far, the only well-documented health effect is acquiring injuries from accidents caused by the distraction a phone call can make while driving. This is a serious risk that justifies stronger actions than what is being taken by most countries, especially since innocent bystanders are also being exposed to harm.
