Relationship between radiofrequency-electromagnetic radiation from cellular phones and brain tumor: meta-analyses using various proxies for RF-EMR exposure-outcome assessment
Abstract
Overview
The study comprehensively investigates the link between radiofrequency-electromagnetic radiation (RF-EMR) from cell phone use and the risk of developing brain tumors. Multiple systematic reviews and meta-analyses were conducted to draw this correlation.
Findings
- Evidence demonstrates a significant increase in brain tumor risks, particularly on the side of the head where cell phones are typically held.
- This correlation is more prominent in scenarios of heavy, long-term cell phone use.
Conclusion
Contrary to recent claims by WHO reviews, the gathered meta-analytic results indicate a discernible risk association between extended exposure to RF-EMR from cell phones and the incidence of brain tumors, challenging previous assertions of no significant links.
