A new study from the World Health Organisation's cancer research agency has reignited the concerns surrounding the possible link between mobile phone use and brain cancer. The agency research has said mobile phones are "possibly carcinogenic" a review of the research suggests an increased risk of a malignant type of brain cancer cannot be ruled out. However, they have concluded that it was "not clearly established that it does cause cancer in humans".
Ed Yong, head of health information at Cancer Research UK, said: "The WHO's verdict means that there is some evidence linking mobile phones to cancer but it is too weak to draw strong conclusions from.
The majority of previous studies have concluded that there is no link between cancer and mobile phone use, and that remains the view of the majority. It is clear, that given the potential consequences of the most recent announcement, further research is needed to clarify the risk. If you are concerned, the suggestion is to take pragmatic measures to reduce exposure such as hands free devices or texting.
