Radiation from cellphones is “possibly carcinogenic” to humans, according to an international expert panel organized by the World Health Organization to evaluate the safety of the increasingly ubiquitous electronic devices.

The WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) panel, which included 31 scientists from 14 countries, reached its conclusion after conducting an exhaustive review of the scientific literature during an eight-day meeting in Lyon, France.

...

The experts stressed, however, that the evidence of a link remains far from clear and much more research is needed to further explore the possible risk.

...

The experts added that it remains far from clear how cellphones could cause brain cancer, given that the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the devices is far too weak to have a biological effect.

“That remains an open question,” said Robert Baan, a senior scientist.
While I appreciate the efforts of the WHO, I know this news is gonna cause a big brouhaha at least for a while. People will just see the headline and think "oh my lawds it's like smoking!" instead of reading the actual information from the WHO.

I doubt it's anything substantial. Has there been cases of brain tumors from cell phones as of yet? I know we're pretty much the first generation to use them, but if we're not seeing a sudden upshot of brain cancer in cellphone users when the 80s-90s generation becomes old than I doubt it's anything substantial. This is pretty much a wait and see thing, since any connection can't really be established until you have something to connect it to.

Cellphones don't cause cancer. Fuck, the radiation that they emit is less damaging than visible light.

the danger of mobile phone radiation and the potential effects has been postulated and researched for years.

this was seriously a scaremongering movement from about 10 years ago when everyone had a nokia flip-phone and thought they were amazing.

hurri you have been living under a rock.

Yes, this is old bullshit and they still haven't proven anything since then.

no I haven't, I know they've been researching this shit for ages, but the WHO announcement goes against those findings that came out a few years ago. It was obviously newsworthy enough for the major news outlets, I think it's newsworthy for a dying gaming forum.

My mom made a big deal about me having a cellphone back when I was in the fifth grade (A little young but with train transportation between cities it was important to be able to communicate.), and that was 7, almost 8, years ago! She would go online and give me all kinds of crap on how it causes prostate cancer, brain cancer, could make me sterile, etc.

TLDR; this is certainly old news
