Microwave radiation similar to kind used in the cellular phones may cause long term memory loss. This has been shown to happen in rats by researchers. This study was conducted by Dr. Henry Lai of the University of Washington.

The cell phone industry itself funded 27 million dollar study to look into possible health risks, especially cancer, but the results were inconclusive.

Experts suggest that the cellphone addicts leave the antennas down whenever possible and also suggesting the industry to design sets with the antennas pointing backwards.

	Recent studies have shown that brain's response time speeds up when people are exposed to radio frequency signals from mobiles phones.
	Other research from Sweden and Switzerland has indicated that radiation from mobile phone calls disturbs sleep.
	In a study not yet published in scientific literature, Swedish professors Lennart Hardell and Kjell Hansson Mild found that people who had used analog mobile phones for up to 10 years had a 26 percent higher risk of brain cancer than a control sample. These finding are based largely on a previous generation of mobile phones, many of which were installed in cars with aerials on the roof, and which emitted signals continuously, unlike the latest, digital phones.
	The World Health Organization (WHO) said last week that more research was needed before damage to health could be ruled out.
