Electromagnetic waves: harmlessness or real danger to health?
Description
The health problems caused by electromagnetic waves continue to grow. As a result, many studies on this subject have emerged; although most of the conclusions provided are reassuring, the fact remains that doubt persists. Indeed, apart from averted danger for short-term mobile phone use, work on mobile phone use over a very long period is lacking. These answers will be provided by future studies recently implemented (MOBI-KIDS, COSMOS). So given the current lack of hindsight, the application of the precautionary principle is essential
Abstract (French)
Les problemes de sante que suscitent les ondes electromagnetiques ne cessent de prendre de l'ampleur. De ce fait, de nombreuses etudes sur ce sujet ont vu le jour. Bien que la plupart des conclusions apportees par ces travaux soient rassurantes, il n'en reste pas moins que le doute persiste. En effet, hormis un danger ecarte pour un usage du telephone portable a court terme, des travaux concernant une utilisation du mobile sur une tres longue periode manquent a l'appel. Ces reponses seront amenees par les futures etudes mises recemment en place (MOBI-KIDS, COSMOS). Donc compte tenu du manque de recul actuel, l'application du principe de precaution est indispensable.
