Overview[]
The rising market for mobile phones has been accompanied by concerns over their safety, especially that the radio frequencies used to transmit signals may cause harm (most notably cancer). Such concerns relate both to the siting of the transmitter base stations and the use of hand-held receivers.
This Note looks at the evidence behind such concerns, and the policy issues that arise.
