This is a translation of an article published in the prominent Swedish newspaper 'Aftonbladet' on Saturday February 8th, 1997. Still more alarming scientific reports on dangerous radiation from mobile phones Every fourth Swede owns a mobile phone. Last year alone one million phones were sold. Aftonbladet today answers the most common questions.
Nobody knows for sure.
It is likely that 30 years from now wonder how people in the whole world could place such a high frequency radiation source to the head. The antenna radiates microwaves. The same type of radiation as in a microwave oven, although in much smaller doses. Like the microwave oven heats food, the microwaves of the phone heat human cells. Science does not know exactly what happens with human cells which are exposed to microwaves.
