According to the studies of long term exposure that we have now, 30 minutes of cell phone use a day for 10 years triples your risk for brain cancer. We are currently in need of more studies to determine direct link with brain cancer. The difficulty here is that brain cancer usually has a latency of 30-40 years, and the heaviest cell phone users haven't reached that point yet.

Additionally, other biological damage has been seen in relation to cell phones, especially in pregnant mothers and children. Here are some research highlights from an international conference earlier this year that includes prenatal studies

One of the worlds leading experts on cancer has also written about the other biological effects of cell phonesThe issue itself is rife with controversy and competing political interests. Cell phone companies (similar to the tobacco companies of the past) have funded their own studies to contradict the findings of independent scientists. It would also seem that universities have pushed out academics that dare to touch the issue, as one of the leading experts on this issue notably "gave up" her directorship position around the time she started pursuing this.

The main things to keep in mind are that distance is your friend (don't keep your cell directly against your body when it's on) and to use a headset/speakerphone.

EHTrust.org is an organization that currently works almost exclusively on this issue. Environmental Working Group works closely with them and takes their lead from many of their initiatives.

Do phones affect the brain?

Cell phones may, since they give off small doses of radiation. If there is too much use of a phone (although over the years the amount in an individual phone has continued to decrease), then it is possible to have adverse effects on the brain and also it may result in the loss of some brain cells.
