I was hoping for an informed set of answers and was not disappointed! Not a simple explanation, but very interesting.
I haven't used my mobile on board ship, but many people do, so perhaps I should stay well clear of their handsets.
A univerity lecturer friend of mine has done some research on the effects of microwaves on human tissue and, whilst he isn't unduly concerned about the effects of 'normal use', he does urge caution, particularly for young people, since his work showed a detectable temperature rise in tissue exposed to microwave radiation at mobile 'phone wavelengths. I didn't enquire too closely about the source of the tissue.
Since my ovum fertilising days are over (I had the snip 15 years ago), I think I'll forego the lead-lined underpants and confine my plans for cooked gonads to a selection from the menus across the channel.
