Why do we need to do experimental research on the possible health effects of mobile phone and TETRA masts?
Some people view experimental research as being divorced from reality and that any conclusions drawn from experiments therefore cannot be generalised to real life. Epidemiological research and case studies are often considered more valid to study the safety of mobile communication base stations and electromagnetic hypersensitivity, because they allow people to be observed in their own environments. We argue that experimental research certainly does have an important role to play with respect to the investigation of whether or not base stations cause negative health effects and that the results can provide useful information that can be applied in the real world.
