Mobile Phone Human Health Impacts

There has been controversy surrounding the health issues of regular mobile phone usage.

Since the late 90’s the Scandinavian health authorities have run continuous long term studies of effects of mobile phone radiation to humans, and in particular children.  Regardless of numerous studies, there have been no reported significant relationship between mobile phone use and health. Studies from the Institute of Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute and researchers at the Danish Institute of Cancer Epidemiology in Copenhagen for example showed no link between mobile phone use and cancer.

The Danish study only covered analog mobile phone usage up through 1995, and subjects who started mobile phone usage after 1995 were counted as non-users in the study.

As mobile phone penetration rates have grown (80-90% throughout Europe) so have the health concerns and prolonged exposure studies have been carried out in almost all European countries again most reporting no effect.  However, a study by the International Agency for Research on Cancer of 4,500 users found a borderline statistically significant link between tumour frequency on the same side of the head as the mobile phone was used on and mobile phone usage.

One study that reviewed the link between mobile phones and sperm quality found that heavy mobile phone users (greater than 4 hours usage per day) had significantly less viable sperm compared to the lower time mobile phone users.

 A prospective study of 13 normal men found that significantly increasing their mobile phone use, to greater than 6 hours each day for 5 days caused a marked short-term reduction of sperm quality. 

Men, who use mobile phones on a regular basis lose about 30% of their active sperm cells. Those who carry their mobile phones in pockets of their pants are putting their potency at great danger.
