A large study involving 432 volunteers has been conducted at the School of Electronic, Electrical and Systems Engineering, Loughborough University to investigate the influence of the mobile phone user´s hand on the radiation absorbed inside the head. Participants ranged from primary school children to the retired, and we were able to collect close to 1500 sets of data.
