Study Finds No Evidence Linking Mobile Phone Radiation to Brain or Head Cancer
A new study analyzing 13 World Health Organization reviews found no evidence that electromagnetic waves from mobile phones cause cancer in the brain, head, or neck. While high-energy radiation like X-rays can cause cancer, the low-energy radio waves emitted by phones have not shown consistent health effects. Concerns about such radiation date back to the Cold War era, but safety standards for consumer electronics address potential risks like heating effects.
