Radiation from cell phones can possibly cause cancer, according to the World Health Organization. The agency now lists mobile phone use in the same "carcinogenic hazard" category as lead, engine exhaust and chloroform.

A team of 31 scientists from 14 countries, including the United States, made the decision after reviewing peer-reviewed studies on cell phone safety. The team found enough evidence to categorize personal exposure as "possibly carcinogenic to humans."

What that means is they found some evidence of increase in glioma and acoustic neuroma brain cancer for mobile phone users, but have not been able to draw conclusions for other types of cancers

Wireless industry responded to Tuesday's announcement saying it "does not mean cell phones cause cancer."

CNN 報道世界衛(wèi)生組織WHO 最新的公告已經(jīng)將手機和鉛、發(fā)動機排氣，和氯仿并列成為了有致癌風(fēng)險。

據(jù)說包括美國在內(nèi)的14個國家31個科學(xué)家共同研究審查出來了這個結(jié)果。這表示科學(xué)家們已經(jīng)找出了一些證據(jù)表明手機能夠?qū)е禄蛘咴龃竽X神經(jīng)癌癥的跡象。

而手機的輻射更像是微波爐的輻射，來自洛杉磯的Keith Black 博士說“這就好像手機在微博你的大腦一樣。”

但手機無線行業(yè)卻認(rèn)為這是無稽之談。
