Study: No Cancer Risk in Short Term Mobile Phone Use

Thursday September 13, 2007

The six year study, conducted by The Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research (MTHR), featured twenty-three studies, which all appeared in peer reviewed journals. It found no effect on brain function or cancer risk from short term use (less than ten years). More studies need to be done to determine the effects of long term use.
