No link between mobile and tumors

The announcement comes at an appropriate time when the mobile industry is facing a range of lawsuits on this topic. The study, conducted by Danish and American epidemiologists, concludes that mobile phones do not pose a health risk to consumers, and they do not find any evidence for an association between tumor risk and cellular telephone use among either short-term or long-term users. The study looked 425,000 people, 56,000 of them who have used a cellular phone for 10 years or more, that a good sample from a statistical point of view. The UK government, however, has still forbidden the use of mobile phones by children and scientists urged caution regarding their findings. Continued follow-up of this study is planned, coupled with improved methods of assessing telephone use.
