2The completion of this paper on February 7, 2008 follows
14 months of objectiveresearch by the author
, involving the critical review of over 100 sources in the recentmedical and scientific literature, in addition to Press reports and Internet content. Thispaper represents a systematic and concise yet comprehensive review of this area to dateand its findings highlight
an emerging global public health concern

KEY MESSAGES OF THIS WORK:
•
 
Mobile phones are convenient and frequently invaluable, yet exposure to theirelectromagnetic radiation is invisible. Therefore, any
danger
this exposure posesmay be
easily dismissed
.
•
 
E
xposure is long-term
and its effects on the body, particularly its electricalorgan, the brain, are compounded by numerous other simultaneous long-termexposures including
continuous waves
from radio and TV transmitter towers,cordless phone base stations, power lines, and wireless/WiFi computing devices.
•
 
A
malignant brain tumour
represents a life-ending diagnosis in the vastmajority of those diagnosed. There is a significant and increasing body of evidence, to date
at least 8 comprehensive clinical studies internationally andone long-term meta-analysis
, for a link between mobile phone usage and certainbrain tumours.
•
 
Taken together, the data presented below compellingly suggest that the linkbetween mobile phones and brain tumours should
no longer
be regarded as a
myth
. Individual and class action lawsuits have been filed in the USA, and atleast one has already been successfully prosecuted, regarding the cell phone-braintumour link.
•
 
The "incubation time" or "
latency
" (i.e., the time from commencement of regularmobile phone usage to the diagnosis of a malignant solid brain tumour in asusceptible individual) may be in the order of 
10-20 years
. In the years 2008-2012, we will have reached the appropriate length of follow-up time to begin todefinitively observe the impact of this global technology on brain tumourincidence rates.
•
 
There is currently enough evidence and technology available to warrant Industryand Governments alike in taking
immediate steps
to reduce exposure of consumers to mobile phone-related electromagnetic radiation and to make
