The review, published Tuesday, Sept. 3, was conducted by 11 investigators from 10 countries who analyzed 63 studies from 1994 to 2022. The panel of experts assessed the effects of radio frequencies, most commonly used in cellphones, TV, baby monitors and radar.
The investigators determined there was no increased risk of brain cancer in adults and children due to radio waves.
The WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer currently classifies radio wave exposure as “possibly carcinogenic,” meaning it could not rule out a possible link based on evidence at the time. But now, in light of this new data, there are calls for that classification to be reevaluated.
