Thursday March 19, 2015 (foodconsumer.org) -- A review in International Journal of Oncology suggests that radiofrequency fields transmitted from mobile phones and other mobile devices should be classified as a Group 2A ?probable? human carcinogen.

The review based on data from CERENAT, a French national study confirms findings from previous long term studies that long-term exposure to mobile phones increases risk of glioma or brain cancer.

Previous studies have found the association between use of mobile phones for a decade or longer and an increased risk of meningioma, according to the review.

In the French study, exposure to RF-EMF from digitally enhanced cordless phones was not evaluated and if it was, the impact of mobile phones on the risk of glioma could be much higher than published data indicated.

 The researchers conclude that "radiofrequency fields should be classified as a Group 2A ?probable? human carcinogen under the criteria used by the International Agency for Research on Cancer."

Also they suggests research needs to be conducted to evaluate the potential effect  of mobile and cordless phones, other WTDs, mobile phone base stations and Wi?Fi routers on public health. (David Liu, PHD)
