Cell phonesIs there a cancer link

Could your cell phone give you cancerWhether it could or notsome people are worrying about the possibility that phonespower lines and WiFi could be responsible for a range of illnessesfrom rashes to brain tumors

Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxietiesDavid Carpentera professor of environmental health sciences at the university at Albanyin New Yorkthinks there's a greater than 95percent chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia (白血病).Also there's a greater than 90percent chance that cell phones can cause brain tumors"It's apparent now that there's a real risk"said Carpenter

But others believe these concerns are not  justifiedDr Martha Linethead of radiation epidemiology (流行病学) at the US National Cancer Institutehas looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion"I don't support warning labels for cell phones"said Linet"We don't have the evidence that there's much danger"

Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs (电磁场) and illnessso weak that it might not exist at allA multinational investigation of cell phones and brain cancerin 13countries outside the UShas been underway for several yearsIt's funded in part by the European Unionin part by a cell phone industry groupThe final report should come out later this yearbut data so far don't suggest a strong link between cell phone use and cancer risk
