The problem is that time mobile phones have been in use is still so short that one can not exclude such a context. As long as we can not conclude finally whether radiation from mobile phones are safe, we encourage to follow the recommendations about how we use mobile phones. This means that it still needed more research in this area to examine this relationship more closely, "said Assistant Secretary General of the Norwegian Cancer Society, Ole Alexander Opdalshei.
