Cell phones pose no health risk: study

The UKs Health Protection Agency released a statement Thursday stating there is no compelling evidence that mobile phones are dangerous to human health. The Agencys Advisory Group on Non-ionising Radiation (AGNIR) updated its most recent statement from 2003 saying they have not changed their position on the matter in light of recent research. Dr. John Cooper, director of the HPAs Centre for Radiation, Chemical and Environmental Hazards, added his support to the statement, noting, There has been considerable new scientific evidence published since the last AGNIR report in 2003, and this report further consolidates the evidence base on which the HPA issues its advice.The HPAs position on mobile phone technologies is in line with the AGNIRs findings. There is still no convincing scientific evidence that RF field exposures from mobile phones and other radio technologies affect human health at exposure levels below internationally agreed guidelines.
