Subjectivity of Perception for Mobile Phone Health Risks

Look here for a brilliantly simple explanation of the subjective way people perceive mobile phone health risks. As Michael Blastland of the BBC points out:

Arguments about risk are seldom settled by evidence – partly because the evidence can be fiendishly hard to detect or agree.

That means most decisions about risk are not linked to the actual extent of the risk. However, decisions about risks tell us plenty about the character of the people making the decision.
