According to World Health Organisation (WHO) research use of cell phones can lead to four types of cancer. The $32m WHO research (covering a decade) will be publicized later this year.

Britain’s Department of Health says, “the current balance of evidence does not show health problems caused by using mobile phones,” The Daily Telegraph informs.

“The Interphone inquiry has been investigating whether exposure to mobile phones is linked to three types of brain tumour and a tumour of the salivary gland. Studies into acoustic neurinoma (a benign tumour of a nerve between the ear and brain) reported a higher risk after using mobiles for 10 years,” the source reads.

Alasdair Philips of Powerwatch stated: “Primary school children should not have mobile phones, secondary school children should be encouraged to text rather than call, and males should not keep them in a pocket as they drastically affect fertility,” Mirror informs Oct. 26.

However, the Health Protection Agency and Mobile Operators Association spokesmen maintain there has been no “hard evidence of harm to health.”
