WHO-Backed Study Confirms: Cellphones Do Not Pose Cancer Risk

In a recent study commissioned by the World Health Organization, it has been confirmed that there is no connection between cellphones and an increased risk of cancer.
Reassuring Results:
Eleven experts from 10 different countries analyzed approximately 5,000 studies published between 1994 and 2022, and found no elevated risk of various cancers due to exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields produced by cellphones and other common electronics. Ken Karipidis, a lead author of the review, stated that despite the surge in electronics usage, there has been no surge in brain cancer cases.
Detailed Findings:
The study also revealed that neither the frequency nor duration of mobile phone usage was linked to brain, pituitary gland, ear, meningers, and salivary gland cancers. The WHO's classification of radio wave exposure as a potential carcinogen in 2011 led to further research, placing it alongside other possible carcinogens like aloe vera and pickled vegetables.
Continued Monitoring:
Alberto Nájera, a physics professor at the University of Castilla-La Mancha, emphasized the need for ongoing surveillance, especially with emerging technologies like 5G, due to limited evidence and uncertainties surrounding long-term exposures. The WHO is set to release an updated evaluation on radio frequencies in the near future.
