Widespread concerns have been raised about the possibility that exposure to the electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation from mobile telephones or their base stations could affect people's health. Such has been the rapid growth of mobile telecommunications that the number of mobile phone users in the world is expected to cross the five billion mark by 2019. These concerns have induced a large volume of research studies on the negative effects of mobile and mobile base stations radiation on the health of humans. However, there are also a large number of counter studies which downplayed any such effects of mobile radiation and stressed the safety of using these devices. This paper provides a review of such studies which investigated the possible negative effects of EMF radiation on the health of humans while at the same time highlighting some of the studies which found no such effects of the radiation. The aim of the paper is to provide insights into the various health effects that may be caused, especially, by long-term exposure to such radiations and also suggest further research in the field which could provide a clear picture as to the negative effects of EMF radiation, if any, so as to enable regulating agencies to come up with more stringent exposure norms to prevent any effects on a catastrophic scale. And, if no such effects are found, then the public should be made aware so as to allay fears regarding the radiation exposure and the use of such devices.
