When you read the article behind this link, please understand that the mobile phone industry is behind it.  In the UK, the mobile phone mast issue is gaining a great deal of momentum.  Whenever that happens, the political solution involves putting some money into a study -- a study that will take years to complete -- to assuage the public concern.  The tactic is part of the industry's overall strategy to "buy time".  With the mobile phone health risk issue, this goes back to the very early days of the WTR when the industry funded our research program, in their mind, "as an insurance policy to buy time".  With research going on, the argument can be made in public that the "jury is still out" and from the industry's perspective, "the heat is off".  In this case, note specifically that the studies mentioned at the end of the article -- a very selected few from the numerous studies now in the open literature -- are only the studies funded by the industry, with results that mute the present day concern.  Don't fall for it.

 

More research is always a good thing.  But, research does not help people who are being exposed to dangerous ICRW (Information-Carrying Radio Waves) today.  Research always should be joined with surveillance of high risk groups and the implementation of primary, secondary and tertiary interventions in those high risk groups as appropriate.
