“We concluded the evidence does not show a link between mobile phones and brain cancer or other head and neck cancers.” “I’m quite confident with our conclusion. And what makes us quite confident is … even though mobile phone use has skyrocketed, brain tumour rates have remained stable,” Karipidis, Arpansa’s health impact assessment assistant director, said.
“And because we use a mobile phone close to the head when we’re making calls, there is a lot of concern,” Karipidis said. Karipidis said although many members of the public became concerned due to the IARC classification, “this classification doesn’t mean all that much”.By designating radio frequency electromagnetic fields as a possible carcinogen in 2011, the WHO put them on par with hundreds of other agents for which evidence of harm is uncertain, such as aloe vera, pickled vegetables, and working in a dry cleaners.
