Cellphones also did not increase the risk of tumors outside the brain, specifically pituitary tumors and salivary gland tumors in adults, nor did they increase the risk of brain cancer in children.
Hardell's research on cell phones and cancer concluded that long-term mobile phone use is associated with an increased risk of acoustic neuroma and glioma. [4] [5] He has said that children should be banned from using cell phones except in emergencies, as he feels the risk of cancer is greater in people who begin using mobile phones before the age of 20.

The review looked at cancers of the brain in adults and children, as well as cancer of the pituitary gland, salivary glands and leukemia, and risks linked to mobile phone use, base stations, or ...
Research from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine at Queen Mary in 2011 indicated that one in six cell phones is contaminated with fecal matter. Some of the contaminated phones were also harboring pathogenic strains of bacteria such as E. coli which can result in fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. [ 39 ]
About fifty scientists worked on the study, [4] which was the largest case-control study conducted on the association between mobile phones and cancer as of 2014. [5] The study's results, published in 2010, indicated that mobile phone use did not increase the risk of tumors among most cell phone users, with the possible exception of an ...
Over the last 10 years, you may have heard rumblings about whether the radio waves emitted from your cell phone are capable of causing cancer.Now, a new review commissioned by the World Health ...
The antennas contained in mobile phones, including smartphones, emit radiofrequency (RF) radiation (non-ionizing "radio waves" such as microwaves); the parts of the head or body nearest to the antenna can absorb this energy and convert it to heat or to synchronised molecular vibrations (the term 'heat', properly applies only to disordered molecular motion).
A systematic review into the potential health effects from radio wave exposure has shown mobile phones are not linked to brain cancer. The review was commissioned by the World Health Organization ...
