More than 20 million handsets were shipped world-wide last year for the fast-growing digital cellular phone marker. According to the US marketing firm Dataquest, production of GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) handsets will exceed 60 million by 2000. The mobile phone is getting more and more popular because of the remarkable improvement of the world's mobile communication service. By the end of this year, there will be 178 GSM networks in 110 countries, providing extended geographic coverage in the form of \"roaming agreements\" among GSM carriers. But since the very day it came into being the mobile phone has been a mixed blessing. People are worried that it can mean a new health risk. According to scientists from 10 countries who met in Vienna recently, mobile phones may heat up your brain, interfere with heart pacemakers and cause cancer in mice. But there is no scientific evidence to support fears that the ever-increasing use of mobile phones may threaten human health. The group did agree to intensify research into radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (EMF), which emanate from mobile phones. \"This is something that we hold as a high priority. We want to find out if these electromagnetic fields do produce cancer,\" said an EMF expert, \"This is going to take time. I know everyone wants answers tomorrow but this is just not

possible .\" The EMF project, launched last year, is a five-year $3.3 million programme to study possible health hazards stemming from exposure to mobile phones and other EMF sources. What will the experts of the EMF projucets tell us four or five years later? We just don't know.
