| NL Health Board inconclusive about mobile radiation effects | |
| Netherlands | Created: 16 Jun 2013 |

More and more long term research is needed to investigate the link between electromagnetic fields and the occurrence of certain brain tumors, the Health Advisory Board wrote on 3 June, when submitting their conclusions to the Dutch ministry of infrastructure and the environment. The board has looked into the matter, with the participation of professors and researchers. A meta study of available epidemiological studies have yielded no clear evidence of an actual link. Very weak and inconsistent evidence was found only for gliomas (malignant brain tumors), in association with the prolonged use of a mobile phone. But no correlation was found when looking at data covering the Dutch population. At present, data only covers a usage period of up to 13 years. Tumors can have a longer latency period. The Health Board will publish more on a literature study looking at the effects of electromagnetic radiation in animals. |
