De Britse NGO MobileWise publiceerde een nieuw rapport over de gezondheidsrisico's van gsm's. In het rapport komen meer dan 200 wetenschappelijke studies aan bod die duidelijk wijzen op een link met gezondheidsproblemen.
The report warns that children's health is being put at risk by the failure of Government and phone companies to respond to the growing body of evidence linking mobile phone use with health hazards. Medical experts and MobileWise are calling on Government and industry to provide warnings and advice on ways to reduce the risk of health damage when using mobiles.
The possible health risks identified include brain tumours and damage to fertility, genes, the blood-brain barrier and melatonin production, as well as other biological effects thought to have a role in the development of cancer. Endorsed by a number of eminent doctors and scientists, the report highlights the growing and substantial body of evidence that has been obscured in the debate over these risks.
