Mobile Phone Tumour Risk Three Times As Likely In Rural Areas

"...country residents using digital mobiles were three times as likely to develop a tumour compared to urban users, who had about the same risk of brain tumours as the general population.

For malignant brain tumours, the risk was eight times as high for those living in a rural area, but the numbers were very small, the researchers warned.

Lead researcher Professor Lennart Hardell said the cause of the increased risk seemed to be the higher emissions from the phones in rural areas because the base stations were further apart than they would be in cities and towns." - BBC News reports this Swedish Research.
