A Study in Kuwait of Health Risks Associated with Using Cell Phones
Al-Khamees, Nedaa
College Student Journal, v41 n1 p187-202 Mar 2007
Previous studies have suggested a link between cell phone use and various symptoms. Analysis of 3,274 completed questionnaires from throughout Kuwait show a significant effect of exposure to cell phones for burning sensation on the ear, temporal pain, pain in the back of the head, auricular pain, noises in the ear, ear numbness, heartbeat disturbances, fatigue or stress, eye discomfort or pain, learning difficulties, sleep disturbances, headache, difficulty in concentration, agitation, and breathing problems; length of call is more important than number of calls per day; and an increased effect with use of a headset or use in the car. (Contains 3 tables.)
