Mobile Phones: Bad for Your Health?

Mobile phones use electromagnetic fields to establish a wireless communication link to the nearest base station. When someone speaks on a mobile phone, that phone is sending out electromagnetic waves (EM). When someone listens on a mobile phone, that phone is capturing electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves go out and come into a mobile phone through its antenna. That antenna is located very close to the user´s head, and people have naturally wondered about the health effects of radiation from mobile phones since their inception.
