Are mobile phones a risk to health

The possibility of microwaves being a hazard to health has been investigated extensively, and much care has been spent on optimizing safety features, so it is now clear that microwave ovens are completely safe. 

The new generation of cordless phones transmit their text and verbal messages via microwaves, prompting persistent rumours that mobile phone can cause a user s ear to cook , much like a pie in a microwave oven. Too few studies have been performed to clarify, so the situation if still inconclusive. Certainly, the energy consumption of a mobile phone is tiny compared with that in an oven (a microwave oven operates with a power of about 200-1000 W, whereas a phone operates at a maximum energy of about 1 W - and the regulatory authorities are decreasing this maximum quite rapidly). 

While some studies suggest that these phones operating via microwaves are safe, others suggest that they are quite dangerous. In conclusion, whereas microwave ovens are definitively safe (if used correctly), many medical reports now suggest we try not to communicate via mobile phones too frequently.
