Smartphone Myths Debunked: Health Risks and Brain Tumors

Some people worry that using smartphones might cause brain tumors.

Experts say smartphones use a type of radiation that is considered safe, like the kind used by cordless home phones.

The World Health Organization says that this kind of radiation, called radiofrequency, might possibly be linked to a slightly increased risk of a certain type of brain cancer called glioma.

However, other scientists haven't found this connection.

5G uses similar radiation that is not strong enough to damage DNA.

To be safe, you can use a hands-free kit or limit how long you talk on the phone.
