In a world where technology plays a crucial role in our daily lives, there has always been a lingering concern about the potential health risks associated with our devices. One of the most controversial topics has been the link between cell phones and brain tumors. However, a recent comprehensive review commissioned by the World Health Organization has shed new light on this issue.
The review, published in the journal Environment International, has concluded that there is no evidence to suggest a connection between cell phones and brain tumors, even with long-term or extensive use. This is reassuring news for the millions of people who rely on their phones for communication and entertainment.
Cell phones, like all wireless devices, emit electromagnetic radiation in the form of radiofrequency waves. Early studies raised concerns about a possible link between prolonged cell phone use and brain cancer, prompting the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) to classify radiofrequency fields as a ‘possible’ carcinogen. However, further research has produced conflicting results.
The latest systematic review conducted by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (Arpansa) analyzed over 5,000 studies, including 63 observational studies on humans published between 1994 and 2022. This review, considered the most comprehensive to date, found no association between cell phone use and cancer.
Professor Ken Karipidis, the lead author of the review, emphasized that there is no link between cell phones and brain tumors or other head and neck cancers. Despite the surge in cell phone usage over the years, cancer rates have remained stable, further supporting the findings of the review.
