Communication between mobile use and the development of brain tumors exist. To such conclusion experts of the World Health Organization (WHO), who studied the safety of mobile devices. On the preliminary results of studies reported The Daily Telegraph.
The project called "Interphone" included several WHO-supported research, funding of which was spent about 20 million pounds sterling. The aim was to establish a link between mobile phone use and development of three types of brain tumors and tumors of salivary glands.
In studies conducted in 13 countries in the period from 2000 to 2004, was attended by 12,800 people, among whom were as healthy citizens and people with cancer.
It is reported that six of the eight studies project "Interphone" found an association between increased risk of glioma - the most common tumors of the brain - and using mobile. According to one of these studies, the risk of glioma increased by 39 percent.
Two of the seven studies of benign tumor of the auditory nerve (neuromas), confirmed the increased risk of its development in people who use phones for more than 10 years. According to scientists from Sweden, with such long-term use of these devices, the likelihood of neurinomas has increased almost fourfold.
According to a study conducted in Israel, the risk of developing tumors of the salivary glands increased by 50 per cent of those who too actively use the services of mobile communication.
It is reported that the official results of the research will be published in a scientific journal before the end of 2009.
