Abstract
A series of recent epidemiological studies has provided some
optimism, in that they imply that the use of cellular mobile telephones
does not cause brain tumors in the short term. It is also recognized
that these investigations do not measure, in the long run, risks for
cancers, such as brain tumors with longer latency periods of induction
or slow-growing tumors that could take decades for symptoms to emerge in
humans. Therefore, lifespan long research, using animal models, is
crucial. The scientific evidence on cellular-telephone safety or harm
remains inconclusive
