Review of radiofrequency field exposure and cancer risk reported in a WHO-commissioned systematic review
Karipidis K, Baaken D, Loney T, et al. (2024) · Environment International
The systematic review and meta-analysis reported that mobile phone use was likely not associated with increased risk of glioma, meningioma, acoustic neuroma, pituitary tumors, or salivary gland tumors (moderate certainty), and that evidence on childhood leukemia and brain tumors from fixed-site transmitters was of low to very low certainty with no increased risk observed.
What they studied
63 observational studies from 22 countries published 1994–2022
What they found
The systematic review and meta-analysis reported that mobile phone use was likely not associated with increased risk of glioma, meningioma, acoustic neuroma, pituitary tumors, or salivary gland tumors (moderate certainty), and that evidence on childhood leukemia and brain tumors from fixed-site transmitters was of low to very low certainty with no increased risk observed.
What it does not establish
