U.S. General Accounting Office Releases Report on Mobile Phones and Health Issues

Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-Conn.) and Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) released a GAO report that found that though research to date does not show radio frequency energy emitted from mobile phones to have adverse health effects, more study is required. (CNN.com) "Today's GAO Report reflects what the public health experts have said: that the science to date shows no adverse health effects from the use of wireless phones. As an industry, we concur with the report's conclusions that further research is needed. Hence, we have entered into an agreement with the FDA to pursue additional research," said Tom Wheeler, president and CEO of the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association, in a statement.
