Does using a cell phone cause health problems? Can using one cause cancer?
The possible health effects of RF radiation have been studied for many decades, mostly in laboratory research with animals or cell samples. Most of these studies did not consider the types of exposure people experience when using cell phones because that technology did not exist. In the last 10 years, hundreds of new research studies have been done to more directly study possible effects of cell phone use. Although some studies have raised concerns, the scientific research, when taken together, does not indicate a significant association between cell phone use and health effects. Since the public continues to be concerned; there are ongoing studies being conducted by many researchers including the World Health Organization, WHO. In addition to investigating the association of cell phone use and cancer, other health effects are being studied, including effects on the eyes, sleep and memory problems, and headaches. The study results should be complete in the next 3-4 years and can be acc
