Use of mobile phone within ten and more years considerably increases risk of brain tumors – glioma and acoustic neurinoma. Most frequently tumors appear on that half of head which mainly adjoins to a mobile phone during the conversation.

According to Occupational Environmental Medicine, Swedish scientists from University Orebro have analyzed the data of 11 researches conducted in the Great Britain, USA, Germany, Japan, Finland, Denmark and Sweden. All of them were devoted to interconnection between use of mobile phones and development of tumors, and contained the information about the people, who have used phones within ten and more years.

In most cases tumors arose on that side of a head which mainly adjoined with mobile phone during conversation.

Received by the Swedish scientists data are contrary to the results of some earlier researches. In particular, the research conducted last January in Great Britain has not revealed interrelation between use of mobile phones and risk of glioma.

Moreover, some researchers assure that radiation of mobile devices does not have negative influence on cells or DNA.
