Responding the World Health Organization’s announcement regarding the effect of cellphone on human health, people start feeling anxious about their own health. WHO encompassed that cellphone may trigger cancer to grow and this conclusion was obtained from particular studies.
WHO’s warning about cancer is true, but the true evidence that cellphone causes cancer is not true yet since there hasn’t been a significant increase in brain cancer. WHO estimated there are around 5 billion cell phone users in the world which means it is almost three-quarters of the global population.
On the other hand, data gathered from National Cancer Institute showed that the mortality rate and occurrence of brain and central nervous system cancers hasn’t been exposing significant raise since 1987. But WHO keeps giving evidence that people who use approximately 30 minutes each day in 10 years may have a 40% higher risk for a glioma – a rare brain tumor.
