WHO Says There Is No Link Between Brain Cancer And Cell Phone Use

The World Health Organization (WHO) today announced the results of a study that found no link between head cancer and cell phone use. The study is known by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (Arpansa) which gathered 5000 studies that have been done on the link of cancer on the head with the use of mobile phones between 1994 and 2022. This at the same time makes it the most comprehensive and up-to-date study to date.The conclusion of the study is that there is no evidence showing a link between mobile phones and brain cancer, head cancer and cancer of the neck. Special focus is placed on the central nervous system, brain, pituitary gland, salivary glands, and brain tumors. The study found no association between long-term use of mobile phones over 10 years and the length of time they were used on a daily basis.The WHO took steps to conduct a more comprehensive study after the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) under the WHO previously said that radio frequency fields such as mobile phones may pose a cancer risk in 2013. Since then it has raised various fears and concerns about the long-term use of mobile phones. .But the WHO says the IARC uses three classifications for cancer risk with the first being "definitely causing" such as smoking, "may cause" and "probably causing". Exposure to radio frequencies falls under the category of possibly causing cancer such as aloe vera and aspartame.
