Causes of Brain Cancer: The waves emitted from mobile phones were also included in the causes of brain cancer. But how much truth is there in this can be understood from the statement of WHO. 

Mobile effect on the brain: Over the years, many studies have claimed that the light and waves emitted from mobile phones are harmful to human health. This increases the risk of insomnia, infertility, vision problems, and anxiety. Apart from this, some people also believe that mobile phones increase the risk of brain cancer. But is this true?

According to a new study by the World Health Organization (WHO), there is no direct link between mobile phone use and brain cancer. To reach this conclusion, WHO analyzed more than 5,000 studies. Out of these 63 major studies published between 1994 and 2022 were selected for the final analysis. 

Wireless technology has not increased cancer cases

The analysis, led by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA), found that despite the rapid growth of wireless technology over the past two decades, there has been no significant increase in brain cancer cases. The analysis has been published in the journal 'Environment International'.

Evidence of brain cancer was found in 2011

In May 2011, the WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified wireless phone use as a possible risk factor for glioma, a deadly type of brain cancer. The IARC classified radio waves as 'possibly carcinogenic to humans', although this classification was based on human observational studies that provided limited evidence.

New findings

“Our systematic review, which is based on much larger and more recent studies than the dataset examined by IARC, is more confident in concluding that exposure to radio waves emitted by wireless technology poses no risk to human health,” said Ken Karipidis, lead researcher of this latest analysis.

He also said that this study is based on more comprehensive data, which further strengthens the conclusion that mobile phone use does not affect the risk of brain cancer.
