WHO Review: ‘No link’ between mobile phones and brain cancer

The final analysis included 63 studies from 1994-2022, assessed by 11 investigators from 10 countries, including the Australian government’s radiation protection authority.

Despite the huge rise in the use of wireless technology, there has not been a corresponding increase in the incidence of brain cancers, the review, published on Tuesday, found. That applies even to people who make long phone calls or those who have used mobile phones for more than a decade.

WHO’s evaluation will be released in the first quarter of next year.

I’ve commented on this before, during the peak of the 5G cell tower ‘panic’. There were all sorts of confusion about different frequencies, electromagnetic types, and over distances. Many heard the words ‘microwave frequencies’ and confused this with putting their heads inside a microwave oven. Light and audible sounds are both frequencies, but sound is going to do more damage as it is at a lower frequency and penetrates deeper. The higher the frequency, the less the penetration through solid objects. The human skull actually does a pretty good job of shielding ultra-high frequencies (and in fact even the skin does so).

But it is good to finally have it shown there is no link found, which bears out the long-known theories that hold true for radio transmissions.
