For decades, numerous reports have raised concerns about potential links between mobile phone use and brain cancer. But now, a comprehensive review conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) has determined that there is no increased risk of brain cancer associated with mobile phones.
The WHO’s report, “The effect of exposure to radiofrequency fields on cancer risk in the general and working population,” is a meta-analysis of the findings of 63 different studies published in 22 countries around the world between 1994 and 2022. Each of the studies reviewed by WHO investigated the health effects of exposure to radio frequency-electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) generated by mobile phones.
The report found “RF-EMF exposure from mobile phones (ever or regular use vs. no or non-regular use) was not associated with an increased risk of glioma, meningioma, acoustic neuroma, pituitary tumors, salivary gland tumors, or pediatric brain tumors…”
The WHO’s report on the connection between mobile phone use and brain cancer as published in the September issue of Environment International, and is available at https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160412024005695?via%3Dihub.
