Do Mobile Phone Signals Harm Our Health?
A Catalyst article about people who believe that their health is affected by mobile phone radiation. The World Health Organisation has labelled this condition Idiopathic Environmental Intolerance with attribution to Electromagnetic Fields (IEI-EMF). Idiopathic describes a disease with no known cause. The article reports on some tests that have been conducted to see if these sensitive individuals would report symptoms when exposed to typical mobile phone base station signals.
This article is from Catalyst: Secondary Science Review 2008, Volume 18, Issue 3.
Catalyst is a science magazine for students aged 14-19 years. Annual subscriptions to print copies of the magazine can be purchased from Mindsets.
