A WHO-collaborative study has dismissed concerns about mobile phone usage causing cancer, showing no link between mobile phones and brain cancer.
The largest study on mobile phone health effects, analyzing 63 studies from 1994-2022, found no connection between mobile phones and brain cancer.
Led by Australia's Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency, the review included only scientifically credible studies, excluding others. The review focused on cancers of the central nervous system, such as brain, meninges, pituitary gland, salivary gland, and ear tumors.
Despite increased mobile phone usage, the study found no rise in brain-related cancer incidences, even for long-term mobile phone users.
The COSMOS project by Karolinska Institute and Imperial College London also confirmed no link between prolonged mobile phone use and brain cancer.
WHO and other health organizations state no clear evidence exists that radiation from mobile phones causes health issues, while calling for further research.
The study updates previous findings, asserting that mobile phone use does not increase cancer risk, countering earlier IARC classification of radio waves as "possibly carcinogenic."
