Mobile phones are not linked to brain cancer, according to a major review of 28 years of research

Mobile phones are not linked to brain cancer,
according to a major review of 28 years of research

A systematic review into the potential health effects from radio wave exposure has shown mobile phones are not linked to brain cancer.
The review was commissioned by the World Health Organization and is published today in the journal Environment International.

Mobile phones are often held against the head during use. And they emit radio waves, a type of non-ionizing radiation.
These two factors are largely why the idea mobile phones might cause brain cancer emerged in the first place.

The possibility that mobile phones might cause cancer has been a long-standing concern. Mobile phones – and wireless tech more broadly –
are a major part of our daily lives. So it’s been vital for science to address the safety of radio wave exposure from these devices.

Over the years, the scientific consensus has remained strong –
there’s no association between mobile phone radio waves and brain cancer, or health more generally.
