Abstract :
There have been persistent concerns about the possible adverse health effects of cellular mobile telephone radiation. Many scientists working in the field have been awaiting the publication of the final summary INTERPHONE epidemiological study paper, and especially the data on long-term results, to help reach a firm conclusion that there is no or minimal effect on brain-tumor development. Note that brain tumors are known to have a latency of 10 years or longer.
