For a few years, now, scientists have argued whether or not there is cause for concern regarding cell phone use. Technology has advanced since personal mobile phones became widely available; so, I think risks have probably decreased, accordingly.
The World Health Organization, based upon the consensus view of the scientific and medical communities, states that cancer is unlikely to be caused by cellular phones or their base stations and that reviews have found no convincing evidence for other health effects. The WHO expects to make recommendations about mobile phones in October 2009.
