The World Health Organization announced today that cell phones pose a significant risk of causing cancer.
Cell phones are now labeled under “carcinogenic hazard,” just like lead and chloroform.
You can download the full WHO report here.
Since cell phones are a relatively new technology, the study warns it could take years before the long-term effects are truly known.
From the announcement:
“…One study of past cell phone use (up to the year 2004), showed a 40% increased risk for gliomas in the highest category of heavy users (reported average: 30 minutes per day over a 10‐year period).”
Those results, among others analyzed by WHO, were enough to earn cell phones a “2b classification,” meaning there is risk for cancer.

I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your website.
It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for
me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create
your theme? Excellent work!
Thanks Mauricio! I just added a few new useful widgets there for a LIVE seismic, environmental, and radiological readings US and world-wide, and some photo-galleries and links coming that you may like. Thanks again for your appreciation! Z
