Abstract
Expansion of the use of mobile phones increases con cern about any eventual health risks from the micro waves they emit. ln this work, we have looked at whether these microwaves could disturb the nervous system, the auditory system or the endocrine system. No significant effect was observed in the responses of the auditory brainstem or the endocrine system, but a slight increase in activity was observed on the Q-EEG. The functional significance of this effect remains to be evaluated, as well as any possible health impact.
