Most of the world’s population today uses mobile phones. More than ten years ago, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) under the World Health Organization Cell phones are classified as “possibly carcinogenic”. The decision was made as a precautionary measure: “Mobile phones have not been proven to cause any harmful health effects. The World Health Organization subsequently stated (source 1) that over 10 years, mobile phone use did not increase the risk of glioma or meningitis risk of cancer. But by 2024, some 50 years after the invention of the cell phone, what will we know about the possible effects of exposure to cell phone waves on brain cancer?
“The most comprehensive study to date”
To find out, the World Health Organization commissioned the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Authority (Arpansa) to analyze some 5,000 studies on the topic published since 1994. , which examined approximately 60 studies conducted by an Australian research team. According to the agency, “This is The most comprehensive and up-to-date data assessment to date » (Source 2).
When the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified radio wave exposure as a possible human carcinogen in 2013, it relied heavily on limited evidence from observational studies in humans. Professor Ken Karipidis, Arpansa (source press release 2).
Therefore, they concluded: “ No link between cell phone use and head cancer ”. Several types of cancer have been studied: gliomas and meningiomas (brain tumors), acoustic neuromas (tumors affecting the nerves), pituitary gland tumors, and salivary gland tumors. Pediatric brain tumors were also analyzed. The study authors said that unlike the increase in mobile phone use around the world, cases of these cancers have not increased in recent decades.
In France, the number of new cases of tumors of the central nervous system (brain and nerves) has increased by an average of 0.8% per year in men and 0.6% in women since the 1990s, following the National Cancer Institute (Source 3). Should
Professor Kalipidis said: “This systematic review of human observational studies is based on a much larger dataset than the one reviewed by IARC and includes more recent and comprehensive studies, so We can be more confident that exposure to radio waves from wireless technology does not pose a risk to human health ”. A recent complete study found reassuring results, but confirmation from follow-up studies is needed. The IARC classification has not yet been revised.
