Abstract :
A recent article offering a systematic review of the outcome of experimental studies reported in scientific journals and sources of funding for the reported research suggested that the evaluation of results from existing and future studies of health effects of microwave radiation from wireless communication should take sponsorship into account. This finding was not altered after adjusting for the number of outcomes reported, study design and quality, exposure characteristics, or outcomes. Note that a majority (68%) of the studies evaluated showed biological effects, although at present it is unclear whether the biological effects translate into relevant health hazards.
