Excerpt: Scientific evidence goes increasingly against the theory that mobile phones cause cancer, a new study has concluded. [Link to abstract.]
The review carried out for the Institute of Cancer Research found "no convincing evidence of a link" between the technology and brain tumours.
The panel, set up by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, admitted however that the possibility of small or long-term repercussions could not be ruled out.
Their conclusions follow a wide-ranging study - the largest of its kind to date - which claimed that radiation associated with mobile handsets potentially increases the risk of glioma, a malignant form of the disease.
