Mobile phones 'pose rural risk'
People who use mobile phones in remote, rural areas are significantly more at risk from potentially harmful emissions, according to the latestresearch, reports The Scotsman. "A study in Sweden found the power required by mobile phones in thecountryside was up to 1,000 times greater than in urban areas becausephone base stations are further away. The Institute of Environmental Medicine looked at 230,000 hours of phonecalls in four different places - a small village with open countryside, asmall town, a suburb and Stockholm. They found greater number of signal transmitters in built-up areas meantthe power required to get a signal was significantly lower and concludedthis should be taken into account by people who make a lot of calls inrural areas. There have been claims that mobile phones can cause cancer and reduce malefertility but experts have not yet reached any firm conclusions."
