How much evidence is there that hand-
held mobile phones might be harmful?
Briefly, there is not enough evidence 
to know for sure, either way; howev-
er, research efforts are on-going. 
The existing scientific evidence is 
conflicting and many of the studies 
that have been done to date have 
suffered from flaws in their research 
methods. Animal experiments inves-
tigating the effects of RF exposures 
characteristic of mobile phones have 
yielded conflicting results. A few ani-
mal studies, however, have suggest-
ed that low levels of RF could accel-
erate the development of cancer in 
laboratory animals. In one study, 
mice genetically altered to be predis-
posed to developing one type of can-
cer developed more than twice as 
many such cancers when they were 
exposed to RF energy compared to 
controls. There is much uncertainty 
among scientists about whether re-
sults obtained from animal studies 
apply to the use of mobile phones. 
First, it is uncertain how to apply the 
results obtained in rats and mice to 
humans. Second, many of the stud-
ies showed increased tumor devel-
opment used animals that had al-
ready been treated with cancer-
causing chemicals, and other studies 
exposed the animals to the RF virtu-
ally continuously – up to 22 hours 
per day.
For the past five years in the United 
States, the mobile phone industry 
has supported research into the safe-
ty of mobile phones. This research 
has resulted in two findings in partic-
ular that merit additional study:
1. In a hospital-based, case-control 
study, researchers looked for an as-
sociation between mobile phone use 
and either glioma (a type of brain 
cancer) or acoustic neuroma 
(a benign tumor of the nerve 
sheath). No statistically significant 
association was found between mo-
bile phone use and acoustic neuro-
ma. There was also no association 
between mobile phone use and glio-
mas when all types of gliomas were 
considered together. It should be 
noted that the average length of mo-
bile phone exposure in this study 
was less than three years.
When 20 types of glioma were con-
sidered separately, however, an as-
sociation was found between mobile 
phone use and one rare type of glio-
ma, neuroepithelliomatous tumors. 
It is possible with multiple compari-
sons of the same sample that this as-
sociation occurred by chance. More-
over, the risk did not increase with 
how often the mobile phone was 
used, or the length of the calls. In 
fact, the risk actually decreased with 
cumulative hours of mobile phone 
use. Most cancer causing agents in-
crease risk with increased exposure. 
An ongoing study of brain cancers by 
the National Cancer Institute is ex-
pected to bear on the accuracy and 
repeatability of these results.
