The World Health Organization (WHO) has conducted a comprehensive study on the impact of mobile phones on human health. Contrary to previous beliefs, it has been found that using smartphones does not cause brain cancer.
Researchers from the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) analyzed over 5,000 studies published between 1994 and 2022. They found no conclusive evidence linking smartphone use to brain cancer or other head and neck-related illnesses.
The study concluded that using mobile phones for ten or more years has not led to an increase in cancer cases. Despite the widespread use of smartphones in developed countries, the number of such diseases has not risen.
Previously, scientists were concerned about the active exposure to radio waves emitted by mobile devices during use. Some skeptics suggested that the proximity of these gadgets to the head could have negative effects, but no proof was ever found. Many of the studies suggesting a link were deemed biased and lacked sufficient evidence.
