Cell Phone Radiation News: Radiation Cause Of Cancers In Rats, Is There Trouble?

The questions about cell phone use and its relation to the development of cancer have been circulating recently. Some thought that the frequent usage of cell phone is the possible cause of cancer. However, others have thought that this finding actually should not be believed, at all.

Findings showed though that experts have less control in analyzing people than analyzing rats, as reported in CNN Edition. Researchers have allegedly requested people with brain tumors to attempt to remember the frequency they use their cell phones and make a comparison with it with the frequency healthy people use their cell phones. However, word has it it could be hard for people to remember the frequency they use their cell phones.

To get more accurate results of the studies, experts have turned to mice in attempting to figure out the levels that radiation from cell phones have effects to users.

In the recent rodent analysis that was out in the public on Friday, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences experts analyzed rats that receive high amount of radiation everyday in a two-year span in comparison with rats that did not get radiation effects from cell phones. The researchers were looking at the number of animals who got tumors in their brain and in nerve cells of their heart.

Researchers have discovered, though, that 2% to 3% of the hundreds of numbers of male rats that underwent irradiation got brain tumors, in comparison to those rats that are controlled.

Experts have found though, that the number of female rats that the number of female rats which get cancer are smaller, approximately 1% of the members of such population. And, thus, could have been to random occurrences.

Similar to the radiation coming from cell phones, the cell phones coming from electromagnetic radiation coming from electrical appliances, power lines, building wirings, and other technologies are equally health threatening, as reported Lifeextension.com.

Cell phones also produce radio waves that are health threatening, as reported in Cancer.gov.
