Question: Can really using my phone cause cancer?

Hi da Celeb,

People are generally concerned about mobile phones because they emit radio frequency energy [which is a form of non ionizing radiation] from their antenna and the tissues nearest to the antenna can absorb this energy. Electromagnetic field in the radio frequency range is used in telecommunication applications like televisions and phones
#Overall, non ionizing radiation has extremely low power frequency compared to ionizing radiation like x-rays. This means that the health effects of radiations used in mobile phones are low. Indeed, many scientific studies have examined health effects of non-ionizing radiations from mobile phones, radar, microwave, and there is no consistent evidence that these radiations increase risk of cancer. Therefore, there has not been any conclusive evidence linking mobile phone use or non ionizing radiation to cancer and therefore it is safe to use your mobile phone.
