Mobile phones cause brain cancer, says World Health Organisation

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has found links between the use of mobile phones and the development of brain cancer.

The WHO has carried out a 10-year study that has evidence that heavy mobile users have a higher risk of developing brain tumours later in life

The results of the £20m study are expected to be published.

Elisabeth Cardis, who heads the report team, said, "In the absence of definitive results and in the light of a number of studies which, though limited, suggest a possible effect of radio frequency radiation, precautions are important."

She said there should be restricted use by children and methods of reducing exposure such as hands free kits are interesting.
