Court Ruled: Mobile phones can give you a tumor!

Alert as court ruled that a regular phones can cause tumors!

Can Mobile phones cause cancer? If that`s the case this whole “information block” that surrounds the Mobile phone industry have covered it up. Businessman Innocente Marcolini, 60, diagnosed with brain tumor after using his mobile phone at work for up to six hours a day for 12 years. Italy’s Supreme Court found a ‘causal link’ between his phone use and illness. Experts predict more legal claims from victims after landmark ruling. A court has ruled that mobile phones can give you cancer in a landmark case that could open the gates for other victims to take legal action. Businessman Innocente Marcolini, 60, was diagnosed with a brain tumor after using his mobile phone at work for up to six hours a day for 12 years. Italy’s Supreme Court found that there was a ‘causal link’ between his phone use and his illness.

Experts now predict a barrage of legal claims by victims who believe their own illness was caused by their use of mobile phones. Mr Marcolini told The Sun newspaper: ‘This is significant for very many people. I wanted this problem to become public because many people still do not know the risks.

‘I was on the phone, usually the mobile, for at least five or six hours every day at work. I wanted it recognized that there was a link between my illness and the use of mobile and cordless phones. ‘Parents need to know their children are at risk of this illness.’

Landmark ruling: Italy’s Supreme Court in Rome found there was a ‘causal link’ between Mr Marcolini’s phone use and his brain tumor and now opening the doors for other legal claims.

Oncologist and professor of environmental mutagens Angelo Gino Levis and neurosurgeon Dr Giuseppe Grasso gave evidence supporting Mr Marcolini’s claim. They argued that mobile and cordless phones emit electromagnetic radiation causing damage to cells and increasing the risk of tumors. But they added that many tumors don’t appear for 15 years making short-term studies on mobile phone use redundant.

The jury is still out, however, for many scientists who claim it is still unknown what, if any, link there is between mobiles and brain tumors. Earlier on this month, a Danish study on more than 358,000 mobile users over 18-years-old found that those who used mobile phones for 10 years or more were no more at risk than those who never used them. Researchers led by the Institute of Cancer Epidemiology in Copenhagen found cancer rates in the central nervous system were almost the same in both long-term mobile phone users and non-users.

But other scientists disagreed, saying the Danish study excluded business users and included as non-users people who began using mobiles later on.

Denis Henshaw, Emeritus Professor of Human Radiation Effects, Bristol University said the study was ‘worthless’, and the researchers themselves admitted non-users may have been wrongly classified which would bias the findings. He said: ‘This seriously flawed study misleads the public and decision makers about the safety of mobile phone use.’ Professor Henshaw has previously advocated cigarette-style warnings on mobile phone packets and urges more independent research. He said: ‘Vast numbers of people are using mobile phones and they could be a time bomb of health problems – not just brain tumors, but also fertility, which would be a serious public health issue.

‘The health effects of smoking and alcohol and air pollution are well-known and well talked about, and it’s entirely reasonable we should be openly discussing the evidence for this, but it is not happening. ‘We want to close the door before the horse has bolted.’ The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) rang alarm bells last year when it classified mobile phones as ‘possibly carcinogenic’.

But earlier this year in another study made by Manchester University in the UK, researchers found no statistically significant change in rates of newly diagnosed brain cancers in England between 1998 and 2007 – saying it was unlikely that we are on the forefront of a brain cancer epidemic. So we really still don`t know whether or not, we can get cancer from our cellphones. One easy rule to follow is to always check the SAR values and opt out phones with a higher Digital SAR Rate value than 0.70 The highest accepted value by our authority’s is as high as 2.0? Swedish DORO make phones with an extremely low SAR rate, both smartphones and regular phones.
