For all those folks worried that a cell phone tower at the Elks Lodge or Hooker Oak Park is going to give rise to a legion of cancer ridden mutants, here’s another study that says “not likely”
March 26, 2007 (Reuters) –
Cell phone use does not appear to be associated with an increased risk of glioma, the most common type of brain tumor, according to a new study.
“Public concern has been expressed about the possible adverse health effects of mobile telephones, mainly related to [brain] tumors,” Dr. Anna Lahkola, a researcher at the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority in Helsinki, and colleagues explain in the International Journal of Cancer.
The researchers examined the relationship between mobile phone use and risk of glioma by studying 1,521 glioma patients and 3,301 controls.
