The genotoxic effect of mobile phone radiation
[8-Nov-2005]
The Vienna Doctor's Chamber (Wiener Ärztekammer) warns expressly against excessive mobile phone use, especially by children. The reason for this is the recently presented 'Reflex Study' (Reflex-Studie), in which a definite genotoxic effect of mobile phone radiation was seen.

The first consequence is that the Doctor's Chamber has now drawn up a catalogue of guidelines, which stipulates specific rules of behaviour for use of mobile phones. See Wissenschaft zu Mobilfunk and the Science section of the Bürgerwelle eV website.
