3G radiation health scare

September 30, 2003

A new study by the Dutch government shows that 3G radiowaves can cause more health problems than current 2G networks. The study shows that radiation from third generation base stations causes headaches and nausea while current mobile signals have little affect.

"If the test group was exposed to third generation base station signals there was a significant impact ... They felt tingling sensations, got headaches and felt nauseous," a spokeswoman for the Dutch Economics Ministry said.

The study also concluded both 3G signals and current mobile signals boosted cognitive functions such as memory and response.

The government will carry further test to see the long term health effects and biological issues and will also discuss the study with the European Commission.

Mobile handsets emit stronger radiation when they are in use but base stations can affect anyone within its transmission range.

The tests involved exposing unexpected test subjects to anticipated dose of radiation for 3G base stations when they are rollout.
