Study shows 3G mobile signals can cause headaches, nausea
A study in the Netherlands has shown that radio signals for the next generation of mobile phone services, known as 3G, can cause headaches and nausea.
The study, believed to be the first of its kind, was conducted by three Dutch Government ministries.
It compared the impact of radiation from base stations used for the current mobile telephone network with that of base stations for the third generation, or 3G, networks.
A base station, which usually covers a cell area of several square kilometers, transmits signals to mobile phones with an electromagnetic field.
The study found that when the test group was exposed to 3G base station signals, there was a significant impact.
People felt tingling sensations, got headaches and felt nauseous.
There was no negative impact from signals for current mobile networks.
