A SWEDISH study suggests that people who use a mobile phone for at least 10 years might increase their risk of developing a rare benign tumour along a nerve on the side of the head.
One of the researchers behind the preliminary study, Anders Ahlbom, said the results were surprising and more research is needed.
Several previous studies have investigated whether the use of mobile phones has been linked to an increased risk of brain tumours. Although experiments have shown radiation from mobile phones can affect brain cells in a lab, more relevant studies on people have found no evidence that the phones pose a health risk.
However, experts have said that because children's brains are developing, it may be best for youngsters to avoid using mobiles for long periods.
