Mobile phone antennas emit electromagnetic fields that can penetrate the human brain.

The study, of more than 420,000 mobile phone users, appears in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
The researchers, from the Danish Institute of Cancer Epidemiology in Copenhagen, looked at data on people who had been using mobile phones from as far back as 1982.
