Several health organizations from Norway and Sweden jointly conducted an extensive study on 11 thousand mobile phone users and it once again confirmed the health hazards of these devices. About 84% of users complained of heat, even burning pain in the skin of the ear, and symptoms of disturbances in the central nervous system were also present. A year of monitoring the health of mobile phone users showed that a quarter of them complained of occasional memory loss, almost half suffered from headaches, while almost two-thirds complained of excessive sleepiness. About a third of users reported having problems concentrating during or immediately after a phone call. The symptoms were particularly pronounced in people younger than 30 years old and those who use mobile phones the most. One of the project leaders, Dr. Gunhild Oftedal, stated that there could be a number of causes for such disturbances, but that the most likely candidate is the radiation from mobile phones.
Another study, undertaken at the University of Surrey, linked excessive phone use with neck pain. It is recommended for mobile phone users to use hands-free devices that reduce the load on the locomotor apparatus and the amount of harmful radiation that reaches the user's brain.
