Is cell phone use harmful to health? Does radiation cause cancer?

Are there risks or not? This is the question that has preoccupied the global scientific community over the past decades with regard to the effects of radio waves (RF) on the health of cellular users. According to Emily van Deventer, director of the Radiation Program for Public Health, Environment and Health at the World Health Organization, the risk of radiation extends to include people close to communication towers or Wi-Fi distribution points. Unfortunately, the question in the introduction to the text is still far from a specific answer. But recently the United States has decided to take another step towards solving this mystery.
In early February, North American entities related to the health sector at a news conference revealed the results of their study of the consequences of radio frequency waves found in the cell phone. This research took 10 years, and was conducted through the National Toxicology Program, On 3 thousand rats and pigs, and the total investment of 25 million dollars.

During the conversation with reporters, John Boucher, the chief scientist involved in the project from the beginning, explained the observations carefully, because the research was based on rodents rather than humans. John confirmed that the results showed that these radiation increases the risk of tumors, causing damage to genetic resources and loss of body weight. The biggest result of this initiative was in male rats that received tumors in the proximal nerves of the heart.

On the other hand, the second group of rodents analyzed did not show any symptoms when exposed to radio frequency waves. "At this point, we do not feel able to understand enough about the results to give a lot of confidence," Boucher told the Washington Post. The world complements the speech by saying that it has not changed its relationship with the use of a cell phone, and if confirmed observations, radiation can be a catalyst for cancer is weak.

On the same day of the conference, the National Toxicology Program presented a preliminary report to the community for comments on the scientific experience. A review of the content of external experts is scheduled for March 26-28.
