The scientific community at large therefore believes that the weight of scientific evidence
does not show an association between exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) from cell phones
and adverse health outcomes. Still the scientific community has supported additional

Interphone Study
Interphone is a large international study designed to determine whether cell phones increase
the risk of head and neck cancer. A report published in the International Journal of
Epidemiology (June, 2010) compared cell phone usage for more than 5,000 people with brain
tumors (glioma and meningioma) and a similar number of healthy controls.
Results of this study did NOT show that cell phones caused brain cancer. In this study, most
people had no increased risk of brain cancer from using cell phones. For people with the
heaviest use of cell phones (an average of more than ½ hour per day, every day, for over 10
years) the study suggested a slight increase in brain cancer. However, the authors
