A recent World Health Organization study on the potential health risks associated with cellphone radiation found no link between cellphone use and the incidence of brain cancer, even with prolonged use over ten years or high call frequency. The study also showed no increased risk of leukemia or brain cancer in children exposed to radio, TV transmitters, or cellphone towers. The findings provide substantial evidence supporting the safety of cellphone use, debunking myths and reducing public concerns about the health impacts of modern wireless communication technology.
