No link found between mobile phone use and brain tumor risk = WHO and others report | Reuters by Reuters Edited September 4, 2024 3:23 am GMT+9 [LONDON, March 3 (Reuters)] – The World Health Organization (WHO) announced the results of a new study on the 3rd that there is no link between mobile phone use and an increased risk of developing brain tumors. It has been shown that despite the significant increase in the use of wireless technology, the incidence of brain tumors has not increased proportionately. This trend also applied to people who make long phone calls and those who have used their mobile phone for more than 10 years. The investigation was led by the WHO, and the final analysis covered 63 studies from 1994 to 2022, reviewed by 11 people from 10 countries, including Australia’s radiation control authority. Co-author Mark Elwood, professor of cancer epidemiology at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, said the study looked at the effects of radio frequency radiation used in mobile phones as well as televisions, baby monitors and radar, and noted that “none of the major research questions showed an increased risk.” The assessment looked at risks associated with mobile phone use, base stations, transmitters and occupational exposure for brain tumours in adults and children, as well as cancer of the pituitary and salivary glands and leukemia. Other cancer types will be reported separately. The WHO and other international health organizations have said there is no conclusive evidence that mobile phone radiation causes adverse health effects, but have called for further research. Currently, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies it as Class 2B, as it “may increase the risk of developing brain tumors.” The IARC advisory group had called for an immediate reassessment of the classification in light of new data available since the last assessment in 2011.
>>1 4G is safe, but I don’t know about 5G Because Chinese tourists, who are the mainstream of 5G, are doing crazy things that are unthinkable by common sense Even if it doesn’t cause tumors, 5G is probably bad for brain cells.
Posts like >>8 below that are meant to be a joke are clearly characteristic of developmental disorders. They cause people to be pushed out of society and become recluses.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications was researching this back in the early 1990s, and around 1997 they revised and published radio wave safety standards for cell phones. What year is it now? High frequency radio waves are absorbed by the surface of the body, turn into heat, and don’t penetrate deep into the body. So they can’t affect the brain in the first place. If you’re worried about that, it’s the eyes, which are close by, vulnerable as tissue, and exposed on the surface.
>>9 They were also desperately trying to check for abnormal signals to the pacemaker, but they didn’t want to completely deny it, so their results were pretty vague lol.
Most people use smartphones with their right hand rather than their head, so if smartphone radio waves were to cause cancer, the right hand would be the first to develop it, but that’s not the case for most people.
The younger generation who keep talking about vaccines probably don’t know this, but there was a conspiracy theory that cell phones were brain tumors, and that they were devices used by the world government to control ordinary people using radio waves. You may say stop getting vaccines, but you definitely won’t give up your smartphone. Well, if you look at the history of conspiracy theories, you’ll see that there have been strange people saying similar things since ancient times, and if you can learn from the past, maybe you can become a little wiser.
>>20 In the past, there were women who would try their best to call because they couldn’t get a job There was a group of people who believed that calling would improve their chances of getting a job.
It was banned because it would mess up the plane’s instruments! But before we knew it, they even had wifi. The person who said that first must have been an idiot.
>>21 I think there’s nothing you can do about airplanes, because if something were to happen people would die. Even if it’s just a possibility, you’re right that you shouldn’t accept it unless there’s enough evidence to say it’s safe.
Well, we can’t tell people now that it’s dangerous and take away their cell phones from everyone in the world, so we have no choice but to go the other way.
I heard that the moment when you make a phone call is when electromagnetic waves are at their highest, so I press the call button, take a breath, and then hold it to my ear.
The fact that they’re lumping 4G and 5G together and calling them mobile phones shows how low their level is… It’s like the latest Famicom report written by an old man who treats all games like Famicoms.
