Mobile phones emit radio frequency radiation from 800 to 2200 MHz. Such radiation is considered to provoke negative reactions in the human body. The radiation dose depends mostly on the exposure time, i.e. telephone connection time, and technical parameters of the devices. Clinical and experimental studies so far have not provided us with a clear statement about the consequences of this radiation on humans. Taking into account the possibility that radiation may have an impact on the nervous system, the authors conducted an assessment of labyrinth (vestibular organ) reaction in 50 subjects exposed to mobile phones for periods of many years. The results were compared to a group of 100 subjects not experiencing such exposure. No statistically significant differences pointing to a negative impact of radiation on labyrinth reaction in humans were observed.
