Reassuring Findings: Mobile Phones Not Linked to Brain Cancer, Study Confirms

A comprehensive systematic review has confirmed that mobile phones are not linked to brain cancer. Commissioned by the World Health Organization and published in Environment International, the study examined over 5,000 studies and found no association between mobile phone use and various types of cancer.

A comprehensive systematic review has confirmed that mobile phones are not linked to brain cancer. Commissioned by the World Health Organization and published in Environment International, the study examined over 5,000 studies and found no association between mobile phone use and various types of cancer.

Mobile phones emit low-level non-ionizing radiation, which initially raised concerns about possible carcinogenic effects. However, the new review, which included more recent and comprehensive studies than past research, provides robust evidence that radio waves from mobile phones do not pose a health risk.

The findings align with previous research and indicate that despite the widespread use of wireless technologies, there has been no increase in the incidence of brain cancers. These reassuring results underscore the safety of current national and international limits on radio wave exposure.
