BBC: Mobile Phones, health, and electrosensitivity
On 18th December 2017, BBC Radio 2 broadcast an edition of the Jeremy Vine show, containing a discussion of the health risks associated with mobile phones. Radio 2 is a national radio station, which is listened to by many people across the UK (and elsewhere too).
