A new decades-long study, the cohort study on mobile communications (COSMOS) has been launched to investigate whether there is a link between the use of mobile phones and long-term health problems such as cancer. The UK arm of COSMOS is being led by a research team from Imperial College London, who came in to the SMC to talk about the research.
