Given  the international media attention generated by the City of Berkeley's proposed cell phone warning law (1), I have been questioned by journalists and others why I believe that mobile (cell and cordless) phone use increases brain cancer risk ...

In May, 2011, thirty experts convened by the International Agency for Research on Cancer of the World Health Organizations after a review of the research classified radiofrequency radiation as "possibly carcinogenic to humans" (Group 2B carcinogen), largely based upon the epidemiologic research on long-term mobile phone use.

Since 2011, several new, major epidemiologic studies have been published which provide further evidence ...

See the three recently published review papers cited below for the supporting evidence that long-term exposure to the non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation emitted by mobile phones increases tumor risk ...
