Summary:

This cross-sectional survey investigated whether mobile phone use is associated with subjective symptoms. In the study 1800 questionnaires were distributed in urban areas of Poland asking individuals information on their mobile phone use and any related subjective symptoms. Subjective symptoms (such as headaches, fatigue and warmth around the ear) were reported more often in people who used a mobile phone more frequently and longer compared with other users. The authors conclude that according to their results mobile phone users may experience subjective symptoms, the intensity of which depends on the intensity of use.
