Evaluation of the Health Impact of the Radio-Frequency Fields from Mobile Telephones

Expansion of the use of mobile phones increases concern about any eventual health risks from the microwaves they emit. In this work, we have looked at whether these microwaves could disturb the nervous system, the auditory system or the endocrine system. No significant effect was observed in the responses of the auditory brainstem or the endocrine system, but a slight increase in activity was observed on the Q-EEG. The functional significance of this effect remains to be evaluated, as well as any possible health impact.
