Still, using a mobile phone is harmful to health, Israeli scientists say. Doctors from Tel Aviv University have found that frequent use of this communication device increases the risk of cancer cells in the salivary gland and parotid region of the head by 50%.

The researchers noted the high levels of radiation exposure on the body of 500 people diagnosed with mild and malignant tumors of the salivary gland. Also, experts recorded a high incidence of cancer when using cell phones in rural areas, because devices in such an area, due to the absence or a small number of antennas, produced an excessive amount of radiation.

Today, more than 90% of the population in developed countries uses cell phones. As technology becomes cheaper and more accessible, the number of people using it grows and includes children from a very young age. Oncologists recommend not often holding a mobile phone in your hands and generally placing it at home or outside the home away from the body.

This is not the first study to establish a link between cancer risk and cell phone use, but Zigal Sadetski, project manager, notes that Israel has more mobile phone use compared to other regions of the world, which is why a correct comparison was made. facts, including the observation of people using cell phones for a very long time.

The unhealthy effects of cell phone use are controversial. Thus, as a result of the largest study of the harm from the use of mobile phones to date, which was carried out in Denmark, no increased risk of cancer from exposure to cellular radio waves was revealed.
