What does the World Health Organization advise on mobile phones and health?

What does the World Health Organization advise on mobile phones and health?

WHO's (World Health Organization) position regarding the effects of mobile phones on health is as follows:

“A large number of studies have been carried out in the last two decades to assess whether mobile phones represent a potential health risk. To date, it has not been confirmed that the use of mobile telephony has harmful effects on health.”

Concerning long-term effects, WHO explains:

“Since an increased risk of brain tumors has not been established, the increasing use of mobile phones and the lack of knowledge about their use during periods of more than 15 years, justify further investigation of the relationship between mobile phones and the risk of brain cancer.”

“Specifically, due to the recent popularity that mobile phones have acquired among the youngest population, a fact that implies potentially more lasting exposure throughout life, WHO has promoted more research into this group. Several studies are currently being carried out that analyze the possible effects on the health of children and adolescents.”

All independent scientific studies that have been carried outreach the same conclusion, that the international guidelines protect all people, including children. A series of specific studies for the youngest are currently being carried out and this topic remains an open area of research.

International exposure guidelines have been developed according to conservative premises in order to protect all people.

It is clear from scientific evidence that RF exposure does not represent any danger to any type of mobile phone user, including children and young people.

Despite the large amount of research that has been done in this field, there is no conclusive evidence that exposure to radiofrequency fields that are below the stipulated levels affects children and adults at all.

WHO has concluded that current scientific evidence does not justify taking concrete measures for population groups such as children or pregnant women.
