English Abstract

Concern has arisen that using hand-held mobile telephones and mobile telephone base stations have possible health effects.

There have also been numerous public objections to the sitting of TV, radio and cell phone base stations because of a fear of cancer induction.

If such a health effects do exist, the matter would be of considerable public health importance, given the rapid increase worldwide in the use of these devices.

Motivated by health concerns, a new wave of research has been undertaken in various countries worldwide, searching for possible links between cell phone radiation and health problems.

New studies suggest that mobile radiation might double the risk of developing cancer in addition to various other effects.

These new studies contradict the previous researches that showed no evidence of the impacts of mobile phones to human health.

The goal of this study is to provide a brief overview of the existing RF radiation-health effect studies and the basic precautionary principles.
