I just watched a program on the BBC about whether mobiles really do cause any health problems. The program seems to say that any evidence is inconclusive. As we as a group of people try to find any reason for any illness anyway. I was wondering what everybody else thinks about this subject?

Feel free to comment :)

I wouldnt think so ive been using mobiles for years and they have caused me no harm whats so ever:)

but i dont think people take any notice tbh i mean they are still selling like hotcakes:)

Ok the max i would stay on a mobile for would be no more than 45 mins, other than calling i text anyways, and there are the choices to use Handsfree and the built in handsfrees:)

I watched this program as well, and as you say it was inconclusive, i was'nt worried about using a mobile anyway, but if i was,this program would have put my mind at rest over possible health risks.

I also think it shows that we tend to scare our selves more than what ever risks there are all ready. We do this all the time though with any health matters.

Well if you keep swapping phones you get different levels of radiation. Combine it with sitting in front of a PC in the evenings and you get this....

i think an internal dial-up modem would be ok in a protector, you can get surge protectors with a telephone socket to accommadate external modems.
