Mobile phones are proved to be harmless for health · 2006-12-06 18:11
A new study denied risk of canser caused by long or short-term mobile phone use, reports BBC.
A Danish research team from Danish Institute of Cancer Epidemiology in Copenhagen examined more that 420,000 mobile phone users.
They found no evidence that moblies can increase risk of tumours in the head or neck
Professor Tricia McKinney, Centre for Epidemiology and Biostatistics, University of Leeds, said: “The large numbers of subscribers in the study mean we can have some confidence in the results that have not linked mobile phone use to a risk of any cancer, including brain tumours.”
However, expert advice is still to limit mobile phone use among young people as a precautionary measure, as their head and nervous systems may still be developing.
