World Health Organization (WHO) says that use of smartphone does not cause brain cancer. Many studies have already been done on this topic. The World Health Organization reopened and analyzed 63 such studies. This study was conducted between 1994 and 2022. By combining the data of all these researches, a conclusion emerged (via) that no evidence has been found of radiation emanating from smartphones causing brain cancer.

can smartphones cause brain

The radiation emitted from smartphones is known as radiofrequency (RF) radiation. RF radiation is used not only in mobile phones but also in smart TVs, baby monitors and other devices. Researchers studied many types of cancer including brain cancer, pituitary gland cancer, salivary gland cancer, leukemia etc.

The report says that there has been no significant increase in the cases of brain cancer as the use of mobile phones has increased in the last few decades. WHO has not confirmed that smartphones cause brain cancer. This news can be a relief for mobile users around the world. But this does not mean that smartphones do not have any side effects on our body.

This research of WHO is still needed along with other health agencies and research. Any health risks associated with RF radiation need to be studied further. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) still places mobile phone radiation in Group 2B as Possibly Carcinogenic. That is, IARC believes that mobile radiation is likely to cause cancer.

Currently, the scope for more in-depth research in this area cannot be denied. Wireless devices are spreading rapidly among people. Therefore, its effects on health can be understood only by continuing research in this area.
