WHO to Announce Cell Phone, Brain Tumor Link

Baack · Oct 25, 2009

A groundbreaking, $30 million study into cell phones has found a link between long term use and brain tumors.
The World Health Organization is about to reveal that its decade-long investigation has found the devices can lead to cancer and the internationally-respected body will soon issue a public health message with its findings, Londons Daily Telegraph reported today.
The conclusion goes against years of assurances by cell phone companies and scientists that cell phone use is safe.
But last month, Sen. Arlen Specter, D- Pa., organized Senate hearings to examine health implications of talking on-the-go.
The WHOs Interphone investigations results showed, "a significantly increased risk" of some brain tumors "related to use of mobile phones for a period of ten years or more," the Telegraph reported.
The studys head, Dr. Elisabeth Cardis, said, "In the absence of definitive results and in the light of a number of studies which, though limited, suggest a possible effect of radiofrequency radiation, precautions are important."

Cell phone users can now see how much radiation they may be exposed to by checking their phone against an online database.
The database, created by the Environmental Working Group in Washington D.C., ranks more than 1,000 cell phones by the amount of radiation they emit.
