In light of recent scientific evidence of risk, several eminent scientists have recommended precautions when using mobile phones including restrictions on their use by children. As governments and industries remind us, there is “no conclusive proof” that the radiation from mobile phones causes health problems and they dismiss any possibility of risk at athermal (non-heating) levels of radiation.

Stewart Report
-
The UK’s Department of Health is implementing the recommendations of the Stewart Report released last May. On 8 December, it announced that it will provide £7 million for research on the health effects of radiation from mobile phones. The research program, to be jointly financed by government and industry, will be headed by Sir William Stewart who chaired the inquiry on mobile phones.

An independent panel of twelve, Chaired by Sir William Stewart, has just released its findings about the risks of electromagnetic radiation after months of taking public submissions and examining relevant research. According to the report, “if science has greater power to do good, it also has greater power to do harm. They therefore advocate a precautionary approach to new technology where there are uncertainties about the associated risks.”
