There are two main reasons why people are concerned that cell (or mobile) phones might have the potential to cause certain types of cancer or other health problems: Cell phones emit radiation (in the form of radiofrequency radiation, or radio waves), and cell phone use is widespread.Even a small increase in cancer risk from cell phones would be of concern given how many people use them.
Cellphones and cancer: What’s the risk? – Mayo ClinicCurrently, there’s no consensus about the degree of cancer risk — if any — posed by cellphone use. The primary concern with cellphones and cancer seems to be the development of brain tumors associated with cellphone use. Some research suggests a slight increase in the rate of brain tumors since the 1970s, but cellphones weren’t in use …
Mythbusters: Do Cell Phones Really Cause Cancer? – Yale …Many who oppose such a link between cell phones and cancer base their skepticism in how cellphone radiation could possibly cause cancer. Cell phones rely on microwave radiation, part of the nonionizing region of the electromagnetic spectrum. … no such mechanism has been proven. … most studies on the cell phone–cancer link have been reported …
Do mobile phones cause cancer? | Cancer Research UKSo far, the best scientific evidence shows that using mobile phones does not increase the risk of cancer. There also aren’t any good explanations for how mobile phones could cause cancer. The radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation that mobile phones or phone masts transmit and receive is non-ionising and is very weak.
Cellular (Cell) Phones – American Cancer SocietyCellular (cell or mobile) phones first became widely available in the United States in the 1990s. Since then, along with the large and still growing number of cell phone users (both adults and children), the amount of time people spend on their phones has also risen sharply.
CDC – Radiation: FAQs about Cell Phones and Your HealthYes – cell phones and cordless phones use radiofrequency radiation (RF) to send signals. RF is different from other types of radiation (like x-rays) that we know can be harmful. We don’t know for sure if RF radiation from cell phones can cause health problems years later. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified …
Cell Phones and Breast Cancer – Environmental Health TrustThe Ecology of Breast Cancer The promise of prevention and the hope for healing Ted Schettler MD, MPH Chapter 6 starting on page 126 is about cell phones. Rethinking Breast Cancer Risk and the Environment: The Case for the Precautionary Principle
Electromagnetic Fields and Cancer – National Cancer InstituteIn the United States, cell phones currently operate in a frequency range of about 1.8 to 2.2 GHz . (For more information about cell phones, see the NCI fact sheet Cell Phones and Cancer Risk.) Other common sources of radiofrequency radiation include: Radio and television signals.
Cell Phones: Guilty Until Proven InnocentCell Phones: Guilty Until Proven Innocent The Precautionary Principle at Work By Andrew Rader, LAc, MS. This past summer, an ad-hoc group of 23 international experts on brain cancer including physicians, researchers and health officials released a warning that cell phone use may increase the risk of brain tumors – both benign and malignant. …
The 10 Commandments of Cancer Prevention – Harvard Health …Many experts now recommend 800 to 1,000 IU a day, a goal that’s nearly impossible to attain without taking a supplement. Although protection is far from proven, evidence suggests that vitamin D may help reduce the risk of prostate cancer, colon cancer, and other malignancies. But don’t count on other supplements.
