Yes indeed! The International Agency for Research on Cancer (
IARC), the branch of the World Health Organization (
WHO) that specializes in cancer research has declared that cell phone radiation is a possible carcinogen. After reviewing data from previous studies to determine links between radiation and cancer when using mobile devices like cell phones, IARC released a statement on Tuesday from Lyon, France after a week-long conference with international experts for the IARC stating that cell phone radiation is a possible carcinogen and that cell phones are possible carcinogenic towards humans. This will surely have a far reaching implications as majority of legal decisions pertaining to the siting or dismantling of cell phone towers especially on health grounds have been hampered by the ambiguity in the position of UN's august health body so far. Now that WHO has taken a clear stance on this and has come out with a statement, more and more judges could now rule in favour of the real victims of cell tower radiation i.e. the residents of the tower locality rather than cell tower companies.
