World Health Organization (WHO)-led investigation has again debunk the longstanding fear that prolonge mobile phone use could increase the risk of brain cancer. The study, which analyzed data from 63 studies conduct between 1994 and 2022, found no conclusive evidence to support a causal relationship between radiofrequency (RF) radiation emitted by mobile phones and brain cancer.
Researchers examine a wide range of cancer types, including brain cancer, pituitary gland cancer, salivary gland cancer, and leukemia, as well as risks associate with mobile phone use, base stations, and occupational exposure.
Despite the significant increase in mobile phone usage over the past few decades, the incidence of brain cancer has remain relatively stable.
This study suggests that the fears surrounding mobile phone radiation may be unfound.
The study’s findings are in line with previous research conduct by WHO and other international health organizations.
While the latest investigation offers reassuring news for mobile phone users, it’s important to note that WHO and other health agencies continue to call for more research to definitively rule out any potential health risks associate with RF radiation.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) still classifies mobile phone radiation as “possibly carcinogenic” (Group 2B), indicating that a potential link cannot be rule out.
As technology continues to evolve and wireless devices become increasingly ubiquitous, it’s important to stay inform about the latest scientific findings.
The WHO study provides valuable insights into the safety of mobile phone use and offers reassurance to millions of people who rely on these devices for communication and daily activities.
