Never let your rat near your mobile

A US federal agency released the final results of what experts call the world's most extensive and most costly experiment to look at whether mobile phones can kill you.

The National Toxicology Programme study was started in the Clinton administration when the government was still interested in science and less interested in what the Bible or big corporates had to say. It cost $30 million and involved some 3,000 rodents

It found positive but relatively modest evidence that radio waves from some types of mobile phones could raise the risk that male rats develop brain cancer. But he cautioned that the exposure levels and durations were far more significant than what people typically encounter, and thus cannot "be compared directly to the exposure that humans experience."

Moreover, the rat study examined the effects of a radio frequency associated with an early generation of mobile technology, one that fell out of routine use years ago. Any concerns arising from the study thus would seem to apply mainly to early adopters who used those bygone devices, not to users of current models.
