Plain English Summary
Researchers reviewed 13 quality studies from 2000-2004 examining whether people who report electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) can actually detect mobile phone radiation and whether such exposure causes health symptoms. They found that people claiming EHS could not reliably detect when EMF was present, performing no better than random chance, and studies on general health symptoms from mobile phone exposure showed mixed results with significant methodological problems.
Study Details
The aim of this study is to investigate Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) and subjective health complaints associated with electromagnetic fields of mobile phone communication--a literature review published between 2000 and 2004.

In conclusion, based on the limited studies available, there is no valid evidence for an association between impaired well-being and exposure to mobile phone radiation presently. However, the limited quantity and quality of research in this area do not allow to exclude long-term health effects definitely.
