Cell Phones Cause Brain Tumors

The use of cellular phones has increased rapidly during the late 1990's. On that period, newer wireless communication technologies have emerged. Currently, According to CTIA - The Wireless Association, cellular phone owners in U.S have reached to 194.5 million which captured over 65 percent of total U.S. Population.
However, there are several issues being discussed to asses the safety implications of mobile phones to human health.
For many users, a new finished study was published online in the International Journal of Cancer. The study was done by a collection of researchers from many universities headed by Anna Lahkola of the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority in Finland. Study shows that using a cell phone causes the risk of developing a brain tumor called "Glioma".
However, here are some simple steps that cell phone users can take to reduce any remaining risk.
First, it is recommended to use a headset or speakerphone mode. That moves the phone and its antenna away from your head. Second, observe using cell phones for shorter. Third, in a car, use an external antenna mounted outside the vehicle to move the source of the radiation farther from you. Finally, the effects of cellular damage are greatest on growing developing organisms (i.e., the young) and so limit children's use of cell phones.
