Many scientific studies have investigated possible health symptoms of mobile phone radiation. In May 2016, the US National Toxicology Program released the results from an extensive rat study finding that cell phone radiation exposure was associated with an increase in brain and heart cancer rates. This research, however, was deemed flawed and discarded.

Some users of mobile handsets have reported feeling several symptoms during and after its use, such as fatigue, sleep disturbances, memory retentiveness, dizziness, headaches, and disturbances of the digestive system. Reports have noted, however, that all of these symptoms can also be attributed to stress and that current research cannot separate the symptoms from nocebo effects.

The World Health Organization (WHO) stated in June 2011 that "to date, no adverse health effects have been established as being caused by mobile phone use", a point they reiterated in October 2014. Some national radiation advisory authorities have recommended measures to minimize exposure to their citizens as a precautionary approach.
