Brain tumors are associated with exposure to cell phone radiation

  • American Journal of Industrial Medicine: OSHA noted increased incidence cancers of the testes, blood, brain, eye, and skin among police officers working with traffic radar. Among 22,197 officers employed by 83 Ontario (Canada) police departments, there are statistically significant rates of testicular and skin cancers.
  • Pathophysiology: Existing safety standards are obsolete because they are based solely on thermal effects from acute exposures. The rapidly expanding development of new wireless technologies and the long latency for the development of such serious diseases as brain cancers means that failure to take immediate action to reduce risks may result in an epidemic of potentially fatal diseases in the future… Taking action to reduce exposures is imperative, especially for the fetus and children.

  • Environmental Research Journal: Large-scale lifetime study of 2,448 rats exposed to mobile phone RF EMF field equal to emissions from a 1.8 GHz cell phone base station. The resulting brain and heart tumors are identical to those observed in epidemiological studies on cell phone users. This, combined with the US National Toxicology Program’s study provide sufficient evidence to call for the reevaluation of IARC conclusions regarding the carcinogenic potential of RFR in humans.
  • Journal of Biomedicine and Biotechnology: The hazard ratio is 2.24 for glioblastoma, an extremely aggressive brain cancer, among cell phone users who began cell phone usage under the age of 20, see Tables 12 and 13.
  • European Journal of Cancer Prevention: Brain tumors correlate with side of the brain used during cell phone calls. 
  • BioMed Research International: Nearly 100% of studies employing real mobile phone exposures reveal adverse effects, which include associations to brain tumors, declines in animal populations, and symptoms of un-wellness.
  • International journal of environmental research and public health: The hazard ratio for glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer, is 2.0 among people who used mobile phones for 20 years; with the hazard ratio jumping to 3.4 among people who used cordless phones for 20 years. These hazard ratios increase 2% for each additional year of mobile or cordless phone use.
  • Journal of Neurosciences in Rural Practice: Mobile phones may cause significant increases in the frequency of seizures in epileptic children, brain tumors and high blood pressure. In addition, mobile phones can cause discomfort, lack of concentration, dizziness, warming of the ear, and burning skin.
  • International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health: Use of wireless phones for 20+ years reduced survival rates for cancer patients with glioma (nervous system cancer) and astrocytoma (brain cancer). RF-EMF should be regarded as a human carcinogen.
  • British Journal of Industrial Medicine – Occupational and Environmental Medicine: In areas of the brain most exposed to cell phone radiation (at 800–900 and 1800–1900 MHz), the likelihood of glioma tumors (i.e., brain cancer) among those with 10+ years of mobile phone use increased 280%.
  • Journal of Cellular Physiology: Association between childhood cancers, particularly leukemia and brain cancer, and exposure to low- and high-frequency EMF suggested a causal role of 900 MHz EMFs.
  • Pathophysiology: Swedish youth who began using either cordless or mobile phones regularly before age 20 have greater than a fourfold increased risk of ipsilateral glioma. Pregnant women should keep cellphones away from their abdomen and men who wish to become fathers should not keep these phones on while in their pocket. (Full text link)
  • International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health: Use of wireless phones for 20+ years reduced survival rates for cancer patients with glioma (nervous system cancer) and astrocytoma (brain cancer). RF-EMF should be regarded as a human carcinogen.
  • International Journal of Oncology: Glioma (malignant tumor of nervous system) risk associated with use of mobile or cordless phones. Risk increases with latency time, cumulative use in hours, and was highest in subjects with first use before the age of 20. (Link to full study)
  • Pathophysiology: Consistent pattern of an increased risk for glioma and acoustic neuroma after at least 10 years of mobile phone use. The current standard for exposure to microwaves during mobile phone use is not safe for long-term exposure and needs to be revised.
  • British Medical Journal (BMJ): Consistent increased risk for acoustic neuroma and glioma.
  • Surgical Neurology: Epidemiological evidence suggests a link between prolonged cell phone usage and the development of brain tumors on the side of the head that an individual uses for cell phone calls.
  • International Journal of Oncology: Consistent association between mobile phone use and ipsilateral glioma and acoustic neuroma. 
  • Environmental Health: New Zealand youth will be at elevated risk of brain tumors by their mid-teens, based on their reported phone usage, and findings of the Interphone and Hardell-group studies.
  • International Journal of Radiation Biology: Cellular phone use significantly increases risk for malignant brain tumors. 
  • Medscape General Medicine: Cellular telephone use is associated with an increased risk of brain tumors in area with highest exposure.
