Can cell phones cause brain cancer?

Is it really true that cell phones can cause brain caner? My cell phone pretty much stays glued to my ear and that’s just something I’ve been worried about.
And if this is true, how much would you have to talk for it to get unhealthy?

Thanks. =]

Answer #1

“Cellular phones operate with RF (Radio Frequencies); a form of electromagnetic energy located on the electromagnetic spectrum between FM radio waves and the waves used in microwave ovens, radars and satellites.

The amount of RF a person is exposed to with the use of a cell phone depends on a number of factors:

1 - The distance from the base station;

2 - The duration and frequency of cell phone use

3 - The age of the phone (older analog models involve higher exposure than newer, digital ones).

A number of organizations, such as the FCC (Federal Communications Commission), have set limits for human exposure to RF fields. Nevertheless, many individuals claim that repeated RF exposure from cell phones, even at low levels, may cause brain tumors.”

“The lawsuit was dismissed in 1995 due to a lack of scientific and medical evidence, but the issue had already taken on a great deal of importance. Since then, there have been many allegations in the media that cell phones cause cancer.”
