The long-term cancer risk of mobile phone use cannot be ruled out, experts have concluded. A major six-year research programme found a "hint" of a higher cancer risk.

But the UK Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research Programme (MTHRP) did rule out short-term adverse effects to brain and cell function. Researchers are now expanding the programme to look at phone use over 10 years, and the specific impact on children, which has not been studied.

I don't think this argument will ever be completely settled.

Nah, give it another 40 years.
I am afraid of young children that now days have mobile phones. They shouldn't have a mobile phone, they are still in development and too young. I don't like it.
