Health Council of the Netherlands issues report on health effects A report by the Health Council of the Netherlands has concluded: "….there is at present no cause for concern" that mobile phones can adversely affect health. The 96-page report, like most others from review panels, also says that further research is indicated. The Council "finds no reason in the scientific data concerning non-thermal effects …to apply the precautionary principle and lower the SAR limits for partial body exposure". The report can be found at www.gr.nl Reference:
