Mobile Phones Radiation.
Radiation from mobile phones has been classified as a possible cancer risk by the World Health Organisation after a major review of the effects of electromagnetic waves on human health.
The declaration was based on evidence in published studies that intensive use of mobile phones might lead to an increased risk of glioma, a malignant form of brain cancer. WHO have classed the radiation as 2B; which states no evidence in adults, but increased evidence in animals.
The WHO findings are the culmination of an IARC meeting during which 31 scientists from 14 countries assessed hundreds of published studies into the potential cancer risks posed by electromagnetic fields. We try to keep an up-to-date list of the research documents here.
In designating radio-frequency fields as "possibly carcinogenic", the WHO has put them on a par with around 240 other agents for which evidence of harm is uncertain, including low-level magnetic fields, talcum powder and working in a dry cleaners. Christopher Wild, director of the IARC, said that there should be more research on long-term, heavy use of mobile phones. "Pending the availability of such information, it is important to take pragmatic measures to reduce exposure such as hands-free devices or texting," he said.
Over the past year, we've been researching and reviewing various products that claim (with or without proven evidence) to reduce the effects of mobile phone radiation. We've found a brilliant range of
Retro Handsets that are proven to cut radiation by up to 96%.
There are around 5bn mobile phone subscriptions globally. One study shows that people - on average - use a mobile phone 43 minutes a day. Although there is no scientific evidence to prove the effects of mobile phone radiation, our company has taken the step of purchasing
mobile phone handsets for all our employees to reduce the amount of near-face radiation.
We will update this website as new information becomes available.
