Health Physics Society updated Fact Sheet on mobile phones

The Health Physics Society, formed in 1956, is a scientific organization of professionals who specialize in radiation safety. The Society is chartered in the United States as an independent non-profit scientific organization and, as such, is not affiliated with any government or industrial organization or private entity.

The Fact Sheet concludes: "Investigations into possible health effects of mobile phones will continue into the future, and it will be especially important to identify if there are any adverse effects in long-term users or children. The available evidence does not show that the use of mobile phones or exposure to emissions from their base stations causes brain cancer or any other health effect."
