A systematic review on the potential health effects of radio wave exposure has found no link between mobile phones and brain cancer.

These factors have fueled concerns that mobile phones might be associated with brain cancer. The question of whether mobile phones could cause cancer has been a longstanding issue. Given the widespread use of mobile phones and wireless technology in daily life, it has been crucial for scientific research to evaluate the safety of radio wave exposure from these devices. Over the years, the scientific consensus has consistently affirmed that there is no link between mobile phone radio waves and brain cancer, or any other health issues.
