The WHO recognised radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs) as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B), based on an increased risk for glioma, a malignant type of brain cancer1, associated with wireless phone use.*
My own list focuses on notable research on biological effects found on children and women, and on brain function, showing that exposure to RF radiation from cell-phones and cell-towers really can be harmful to your health.
