Mobile phones are "Carcinogenic Hazardous Hazardous Substances", WHO (World Health Organization) designated

As for the electromagnetic waves of cellular phones, it became a social problem for a while as "to make the pacemaker malfunction", but as a result of the survey by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications announced in May 2010Including 2nd generation mobile phones with the greatest impact, do not affect pacemakers if they are separated by about 22 cm or moreHas been confirmed.

However, it became clear that the United Nations expert organization "WHO (World Health Organization)" designated the mobile phone as "carcinogenic hazardous substance".

According to CNN 's report in the US, WHO has designated the mobile phone as the same "hazardous substance with carcinogenicity" as the engine exhaust gas and chloroform, etc., as the electromagnetic waves of mobile phones may cause cancer .

This was clarified by a study on the safety of mobile phones carried out by a team composed of 31 scientists in 14 countries including the United States, and a tumor generated from brain parenchyma or spinal cord parenchyma "Glioma"And" neuroma "that they can cause cancer in the brain.

The electromagnetic waves of mobile phones are not like x-rays, they are said to be like microwave ovens with very low output, so to speak, "like putting the brain in a microwave oven instead of food" He is a representative of the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and commented Dr. Keith Black majoring in neurology.

The CTIA - The Wireless Association, which represents the wireless communications industry, rejected WHO 's announcement and denied the carcinogenicity of mobile phones. The European Environment Agency added research results that mobile phones are as dangerous as smoking, asbestos, lead-containing gasoline, and representatives of the Pittsburgh University cancer research institute will restrict the use of mobile phones This announcement is causing a big ripple, such as notifying all the staff.

Incidentally, Dr. Keith Black mentioned above is much less influential for child's influence of mobile phone electromagnetic waves because children's skull and scalp are thinner than adults and electromagnetic waves can penetrate deeper into the brain, so the influence may be much larger I have no comment.
