People in countries around the world could be at an increased risk of developing brain cancer due to the heavy, over-popular use of cellphones, according to a recently released British study. The study, conducted by Dr. Vini Khurana, was described in The Independent newspaper's on-line edition, and posted at the Drudge Report.
According to the study, brain cancer normally takes about a decade, or 10 years, to show signs of developing, and cellphones haven't been around for that long so no studies have documented cases that are accurate so far. So, the original safety assurances put out by cellphone companies and groups were inaccurate, he says.
The doctor also warned that if the cellphone industry doesn't reduce the amount of radiation emitted from their phones soon, in about another decade the world could see a large number of people with brain tumors, and problems that could be irreversible.
Land phones that are cordless also have increased risks to brain cancer other studies have shown and risks to children could also increase.
However, the Mobile Operators Association claims his evidence is slanted to fit his independent research and there are other studies that draw opposite conclusions.
