The Green Party is urging the Minister for Health to issue a health warning to mobile-phone users.
The party spokesman on health, Mr John Gormley, said many scientists believed adverse health effects were caused when microwave radiation from mobile phones entered the brain.
Mr Gormley referred to the ABC programme 20/20 broadcast on TV3 on Sunday, which he felt could not be ignored by the Minister.
The programme claimed that, depending on how close the cellphone antenna was, as much as 60 per cent of the microwave radiation was absorbed by and actually penetrated the area around the head, some reaching one inch or more into the brain.
