For years scientist have been arguing about if cell phone cause brain cancer. Is cell phone radiations that harmful to people.
Most scientists believe that cell phones are the cause of mmajority of brain tumors. “ Long-term and frequent use of cell phones which receive and emit radio frequency may be associated with an increased risk of brain tumors,” says Ronald Herberman the director of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute and the UPMC Cancer Center. There have been three studies since 1999 showing that people who use their cell phones more than usual, have three times the risk of getting a brain tumor on the same side of the head they hold their phone. Evidence has been proven by The EMR Policy Institution, when a man developed a tumor on the side of his head where he holds his phone. Tests showed that the man’s tumor was linked to his heavy cell phone use.
Jorn Olsen, chair of Epidemiology at the University of California disagrees with the fact that cell phones cause cancer. “ Cell phones don’t release enough radiation or energy to damage your DNA or genetic material, which can lead to brain cancer,” says Olsen. Cell phone radiations have been tested on animals to prove that cell phone don’t cause cancer. The result of the tests turns out to be about 50/50. The radiation from the cell phones caused cancer sometimes and other times it didn't.
Cell phones can cause brain cancer depending on how much people use their phones on a regular basis. The more you use it, the higher the risk of getting a tumor in your head.
