Do cell-phones cause Cancer?
Cell phones work by sending signal to nearby
cell towers using RF waves. Many people are
concerned because at very high levels, RF waves
heat up body tissues.
Cell-Phones do cause cancer!
RF waves send from the antenna, which, when you use, is near the head. (Not seen in smart phones, but are in them) People since 2011 are a greater a person’s expected risk to exposure to RF energy. The body tissues closest to the phone absorb more energy than tissues farther away.
RF WAVES
Several major studies show no relationship between cell phones and cancer at this time. However, since the information available is based on short-term studies, the impact of many years of exposure is not known.
The amount of time people spend on cell phones has increased dramatically. This will be taken into thought during recent and future studies. Research continues to consider whether there is a relationship between long-term cell phone use and slow-growing tumors in the brain or other parts of the body.
