Risk of malignant brain tumors and cell phone use

Published: 01 July 2007 Publication History

Abstract

It has been estimated that there are about 2 billion users of cellular mobile telephones worldwide. The popularity of cellular telephones is beyond any debate. It's a good guess that most, if not all users, would prefer no links between cellular telephone and health effect, let alone cell-phone use and cancer.
