Today, a few non-governmental organizations (NGOS) are trying to draw the attention of consumers on the possible harmful effects of genetically modified organisms (GMOS), cell phone antennas and nanotechnologies.

According to scientific studies5, our cell phones may cause brain tumors. Today, cell phones, tablets, consoles and other devices are in the living room;

Mobile phone transmitters are pointed also out as a potential cause of Cancer cell phones emit radio frequency energy,

which can be absorbed by tissues closest to where the phone is held. The amount of radio frequency energy that a cell phone user is exposed to depends on the technology of the phone

the distance between the phone's antenna and the user, the extent and type of use,

and the user's distance from cell phone towers. According to the National Cancer Institute, studies thus far have not shown a consistent link between cell phone use and cancers of the brain, nerves,

or other tissues of the head or neck. More research is needed because cell phone technology

and how people use cell phones have been changing rapidly 11. In some cases, a sophisticated simulation system based on the collection of multidisciplinary knowledge may help understand the impact and consequences.

The consultations comprised a mixture of one to one meetings, group discussions, survey and telephone/email research contact.

Non respondents were followed up by telephone which resulted in some participants completing the questionnaire over the phone.

Phase One Participants: All 19 participants were emailed and one bounce back email was received. Of those successfully contacted, 10 completed the questionnaire.

The Intertradeireland Business Monitor telephone survey was undertaken in 2011 and the sample is structured to allow subgroup analysis by region, sector (seven of these), size of business (small, medium and large) and export orientation (exporters off the island,
