Yet another study linking mobile phone use and brain tumours

21st June 2011

Interphone Study leader Elisabeth Cardis and colleagues have published a new analysis (see paper details below) showing an increased risk of brain cancer close to where you hold a mobile phone to your head.

An increased risk of glioma was seen in the 20% of users with the highest RF exposure. This shows up in the data from people who have used a mobile phone for more than 7 years. More than 15 mins mobile phone use per day resulted in a 72% increase of brain cancer.

At the end of May 2011, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) determined that RF radiation, indeed the entire non-ionizing electromagnetic field spectrum from electrical power frequency up to and including 300 GHz is a possible human carcinogen.
