Mobile phones have become ubiquitous fixtures of 21st-century life – suctioned to our ears and stuck in our pockets. Yet, we’ve all heard whispers that these essential little devices give you brain cancer. Could it be true? In 2011, the World Health Organization shocked the international community by confirming that the radiation from cell phones is a possible carcinogen to humans. Dr Martin Blank notes that while the presumption of innocence is invaluable to the system of justice, it does not make sense as a public health standard. This book brings readers through the science, in accessible and fascinating prose, indicating biological effects resulting from low, non-thermal levels of non-ionising electromagnetic radiation (levels considered safe by regulatory agencies).
