No health risk from mobile phones of wifi claims latest study. Researchers gave mobiles and wi-fi a clean bill of healthCall for patients who claim to be affected to be examined for 'other causes' By Mark Prigg Published: 11:43 GMT, 18 September 2012 | Updated: 06:54 GMT, 19 September 2012 Using a mobile or wi-fi doesn’t cause cancer and poses no damage to health, according to a new study.
Previous studies have found low-level electromagnetic field exposure from mobiles and other transmitting devices could cause harmful heating of tissue, male infertility and cancer. But after assessing health hazards from low-level electromagnetic fields generated by radio transmitters, researchers found there is no scientific evidence exposure to these poses a health risk. Norwegian researchers claim there is no health risk from using mobile phones of wireless networks. they found 'no evidence' of health from modern devices. However, the researchers did admit that consumers should be told that using a hands free device can dramatically cut their exposure. Long-term use of cellular phones and brain tumours: increased risk associated with use for ⩾10 years. + Author Affiliations Correspondence to: Dr L Hardell Department of Oncology, University Hospital, SE-701 85 Örebro, Sweden; lennart.hardell@orebroll.se Accepted 28 March 2007 Published Online First 4 April 2007 Abstract Aim: To evaluate brain tumour risk among long-term users of cellular telephones.
Methods: Two cohort studies and 16 case–control studies on this topic were identified. Data were scrutinised for use of mobile phone for ⩾10 years and ipsilateral exposure if presented. Results: The cohort study was of limited value due to methodological shortcomings in the study. Conclusions: Results from present studies on use of mobile phones for ⩾10 years give a consistent pattern of increased risk for acoustic neuroma and glioma. Over the past few decades, there has been rapid worldwide development of wireless technology, including increasing use of wireless telephone communication. In this paper, we present results from cohort and case–control studies published to date on this topic.

So far, the effect on slow growing tumours has been studied in people who have used mobiles for up to 20 years, but the study shows no association.
<a href=" you believe using a mobile phone is bad for your health? </a> However, only limited data exists for other types of cancer - such as leukaemia and lymphoma - but there is no evidence of an increased risk from mobile use, and cancer registries have not observed an increase in these tumours since mobiles were introduced. The Committee found no evidence low level electromagnetic field exposure from mobiles and other transmitters increase the risk of cancer, impair male fertility, cause other reproductive damage or lead to other diseases and adverse health effects - such as changes to the endocrine and immune systems. Professor Jan Alexander said: "We have no grounds to say that the symptoms are imaginary.
"Research provides no evidence to support that interventions help, such as reducing the use of mobile phones or wireless networks.
