Using the Bradford Hill viewpoints to evaluate the evidence on radio frequency radiation from mobile phones to head tumours

Abstract

Overview

In this insightful lecture delivered at the Royal Society of Medicine, Professor Lennart Hardell explores the potential risks of brain tumours associated with the use of wireless and mobile phones.

Findings

Utilizing the Bradford Hill viewpoints, originally presented in a 1965 presidential address, Professor Hardell examines the relationship between radio frequency radiation emitted from mobile phones and the incidence of head tumours. This approach underscores the significant health risks posed by electromagnetic fields.

Conclusion

The lecture emphasizes the importance of revisiting and applying historical epidemiological frameworks to contemporary health issues linked to modern technology usage. The findings support a notable association between mobile phone radiation and increased brain tumour risks.
