Scientific resources: Since mobile phones where invented concerns have been raised about the potential health problems it may cause. As mobile phones penetrations grew past fixed landline penetration levels in 1998 in Finland and from 1999 in Sweden, Denmark and Norway, the Scandinavian health authorities have run continuous long term studies of effects of mobile phone radiation effects to humans, and in particular children. Numerous studies have reported and most studies consistently report no significant relationship between mobile phone use and health.

Several research studies carried out in Europe and America have looked at large numbers of people using mobile phones.  Most have found no link between brain tumors and mobile phones.  A large UK study reported in January 2006 that they could find no link between mobile phone use and brain tumors.  The study included information on over 2,500 people.  They found no link between the amount of mobile phone use, length of time since first use, lifetime years of use or number of calls made.  The study did not include any information on children using mobile phones.  Over 2,500 people took part in this study.  Only about 6 or 7 out of every 100 of them had used a mobile for more than 10 years. This shows that the link is created from popular context and arrogance in not contrinuoing the the microwaves ratiated from the phone hence creating false accusations.

Scientific resource (2): Long-term users of mobile phones are significantly more likely to develop a certain type of brain tumour on the side of the head where they hold their handsets, according to new research. A large-scale study found that those who had regularly used mobiles for longer than 10 years were almost 40 per cent more likely to develop nervous system tumours called gliomas near to where they hold their phones. The new research, to be published later this year in the International Journal of Cancer, is the second study to suggest increased risks of specific types of brain tumours in regions close to where mobile phone emissions enter the head. The study, done by a collection of researchers from many universities and led by Anna Lahkola of the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority in Finland, found firm corollary evidence that using a cell phone causes the risk of getting a brain tumor called a glioma to rise by 40 to 270 percent on the side of the head preferred for using the phone.
