WHO classifies Mobile Phone as Carcinogen!

Read here about WHO classification of Radio-Frequency Electromagnetic Fields as possibly Carcinogenic to Humans:

The WHO/International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified radio-frequency electromagnetic fields as  possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B), based  on  an increased  risk  for   glioma,  a  malignant  type  of  brain  cancer , associated with wireless phone use.

 

The IARC  Monograph  Working  Group  discussed  the  possibility  that  these  exposures  might induce long‐term health effects, in particular an increased risk for cancer. This has relevance for public health, particularly for users of mobile phones, as the number of users is large and growing, particularly among young adults and children.

Results

The evidence was reviewed critically, and overall evaluated as being limited    among users     of wireless telephones for glioma and acoustic neuroma, and inadequate to draw conclusions for other types of cancers. The evidence from the occupational and environmental exposures mentioned above was similarly judged inadequate. The Working Group did not quantitate the risk; however, one study of past cell phone use (up to the year 2004), showed a 40% increased risk for gliomas in the highest category of heavy users (reported average: 30 minutes per day over a 10‐year period).

Conclusions

Dr Jonathan Samet (University of Southern California, USA), overall Chairman of the Working Group, indicated that "the evidence, while still accumulating, is strong enough to support a conclusion and the 2B classification. The conclusion means that there could be some risk, and therefore we need to keep a close watch for a link between cell phones and cancer risk."

"Given the potential consequences for public health of this classification and findings," said IARC Director Christopher Wild, "it is important that additional research be conducted into the long‐ term, heavy use of mobile phones. Pending the availability of such information, it is important to take pragmatic measures to reduce exposure such as hands‐free devices or texting. "
