Two thirds of people believe the risks of emissions from mobile phones outweigh the benefits
Interesting to note the report by Roger Highfield (Science Editor) on page 3 of this morning's Daily Telegraph:
"Two thirds of people now believe the risks of emissions from mobile phones outweigh the benefits, according to a Government survey.
This represnts a reversal of the pattern of two years ago when more than twice the proportion believed the benefits exceeded the risks, according to a Mori research report, 'Science in Society', commissioned by the Department of Trade and Industry.
Sir William Stewart, head of the National Radiological Protection Board, Britain's radiation watchdog, recently warned that the dangers - particularly to children - were still unknown. And a Swedish study has linked long-term use with double the risk of a rare tumour on a nerve that connects the ear to the brain.
The survey, of around 2000 people, is published today to coincide with National Science Week."
