Cell phones and brain cancer

Quick facts By the end of 2009, the number of mobile cellular subscriptions worldwide reached approximately 4.6 billion (THIS IS TOO WORDY) versus 4.6 billion cell phones in use in 2009

Researchers do not agree

Risk of brain cancer There is growing evidence – exclusively reported in the IoS in October – that using handsets for 10 years or more can double the risk of brain cancer. Cancers take at least a decade to develop, invalidating official safety assurances based on earlier studies which included few, if any, people who had used the phones for that long.

One study’s warning A study in the IoS found using handsets for 10 years or more can double the risk of brain cancer. Earlier studies reporting no effect had been for shorter periods Cancers take at least a decade to develop

Some say it is safe A Swedish study - mobile phone users have no greater chance of developing the disease than the general population The study followed 420,000 Danish mobile phone users for up to 21 years

This information in the last slide was okay. What would have strengthened it?

My recommendation -Cell phones could be safe but I would be careful -Limit your use of cell phones -Don’t sleep with your cell phone near your head at night -- Buy a proper headset
