Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed 496 volunteers to mobile phone radiation in a controlled, double-blind study to see if it caused symptoms like headaches or dizziness. They found only one inconsistent effect - dizziness in one group that wasn't replicated in the other groups. The study concluded there's no consistent evidence that mobile phone radiation causes immediate physical symptoms.
Study Details
The objective of this study was to examine whether acute exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields (REFs) emitted by mobile phone may affect subjective symptoms.
Three large groups of volunteers (total 496) were exposed to REFs emitted by mobile phones in one se...
For one group of participants (N = 160), it was found that dizziness was affected by GSM exposure, b...
We did not find consistent evidence suggesting that exposure to mobile phone REFs affect subjective symptoms. Even though we acknowledge that more research is needed, we believe that our results give an important contribution to the research on mobile phone use and subjective symptoms.
