Following the publication of the Stewart report in 2000, a research programme, called the Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research Programme (MTHR), was set up to look into the possible health impact of mobile telecommunications. This £8.8 million programme of research includes 28 separate studies and has investigated whether health or other effects can result from mobile phones or base stations. Scientists from this comprehensive research programme reported on their findings at the Science Media Centre.
