View Original AbstractThis study found no immediate brain effects from 30-minute phone exposures, but doesn't address long-term cumulative impacts from daily use.
Plain English Summary
Swiss researchers exposed 15 healthy adults to mobile phone signals from both older GSM phones (900 MHz) and newer UMTS phones (1950 MHz) for 30 minutes to see if the radiation affected brain activity or how people felt. Using brain wave monitoring (EEG) and self-reported wellness measures, they found no significant changes compared to fake exposure sessions. This suggests that typical mobile phone radiation levels don't immediately alter brain function or cause noticeable symptoms in healthy users.

To date most studies have investigated Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM)-EMF and only ve...
Neither the UMTS- nor the GSM-EMF produced any significant changes in the measured parameters compar...
The results do not give any evidence for a deleterious effect of the EMF on normal healthy mobile phone users.
