Based on the latest research released by National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, the scientists found that 2% to 3% of irradiated male rats developed brain tumors, and 2% to 7% of irradiated rats developed heart tumor. It is interesting that female population is less impacted to radiation waves and it composed 1% of developed brain tumor and 2% of heart tumor of the total population of the tested species. According to John R. Bucher, associate director of the National Toxicology Program tumors were of types similar to those in other research that found radiofrequency from cell phones is a possible carcinogen.
The WHO/International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” and associates it with wireless phone use. In May 2011, a Working Group of 31 scientists from 14 countries met in France to assess the potential carcinogenic hazard from exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields emitted by wireless communication devices, microwaves, radio, and television signals.
