Despite an explosion in research over the past decade a review of scientific studies says that there is no evidence that using a mobile phone can damage your health.

While there has been a great deal of study of the effects that RF signals have on the human brain, the report by the Health Protection Agency says that results have not proven any link between electromagnetic fields and brain tumours or other types of cancer. The research concludes that the only way that the use of a mobile phone can damage your health is whilst driving.

Dr John Cooper, director of the HPA centre for radiation, chemical and environmental hazards, said: “There is still no convincing scientific evidence that RF field exposures from mobile phones and other radio technologies affect human health at exposure levels below internationally agreed guidelines.”

However, the report notes it is important to continue monitoring as there is little information on the effects that can be had on somebody over fifteen years after they were first exposed.

The HPA recommends that excessive use of mobile phones by children should be discouraged but that adults should make their own choice as to how much they use their phone.

A student at an American university has come up with a novel concept design – a DIY mobile phone.

According to a report by tech site Engadget, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)  has opened its doors to show off the work done in its Media Lab and PhD student David Mellis’ concept of a DIY mobile phone has drawn considerable attention from the tech community.

The prototype features a 1.8-inch monochrome TFT LCD display with a resolution of 160x 128 pixels. There’s a slot for a SIM card that allows the handset to be used on GSM network to make calls. Text messaging isn’t supported but Mellis claims that it could be introduced at a late stage, should the device ever make it into production.

All the parts are housed within a laser-cut plywood casing with flexors that allow navigation buttons to be pressed. The DIY cellphone also features a  large antenna that fits to the top and that, coupled with its boxy appearance, gives it the appearance of a device from the late 8os.

The prototype doesn’t have a rechargeable power source of the kind fitted to most smartphones these days, instead using a 9 volt battery that can only be changed by unscrewing the case.

In total the design consists of around £150 (£93) worth of parts but is still very much at the prototype stage. You can have a look at Engadget‘s video about the DIY phone below.
