According to the results of a new Australian-led systematic review - commissioned by the World Health Organisation, it found no link between mobile phone use and brain and head cancer.


Cell phones emit low-level radio waves, many wonder, can mobile phones cause cancer?

Scientists say they now have an answer and that's good news.

The Australian-led study - conducted by a panel of 11 experts from 10 countries examining more than 5,000 global studies conducted between 1994 and 2022, found no association of long-term mobile phone use with brain cancer.
So even though people use their phones for 10 years or more, and regardless of how often they use them, there is no visible effect.

It was also concluded that cell towers and broadcast and TV towers were not at risk of cancer.
