Since mobile phones began to be widely used in the 90s, some people have wondered if the energy they emit is hazardous to health. The World Health Organization has refuted those fears with a new report that states that radiation from mobile phones does not increase the risk of brain cancer. Cell phones rely on radio frequencies (RF), which are electromagnetic waves, to connect the device to nearby cell phone towers. The WHO said it reviewed 63 s…

WHO review finds no link between mobile phones and brain cancer, debunking long-standing concerns

Many mobile phone users have been concerned about a possible link between the use of these handsets and cancer ever since the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the World Health Organization's cancer agency, classified radio wave exposure as a possible carcinogen to humans in 2011 – they can now stop worrying.Read Entire Article

The WHO and other international health organizations have previously stated that there is no clear evidence that mobile phone radiation has an adverse effect on health, but more research is required. Currently, the International Center for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as “possibly carcinogenic” Class 2B carcinogens. When the International Cancer Research Center is unable to rule out potential connect…
