Schoolchildren in London will be recruited into the largest ever study to investigate the impact of mobile phone use on teenagers’ developing brains.

To date there has been no convincing evidence that exposure to radio waves affects health in adults, and previous fears that mobile phones might be increasing the risk of brain cancer have been conclusively ruled out. However, there is a lack of reliable evidence on the impact of this technology on the brains of young people.
