'No health hazard from cellphones'

In its latest advisory on health risks associated with mobile phones and their base stations, WHO and French government’s expert group ANSES has said that there was no health hazard from mobile phone emissions.

WHO said that there was no data provided so far to prove the fact that exposure to radio-frequency can cause cancer though scientists have reported health effects such as changes in brain activity, reaction time and sleep patterns.

However, WHO has said that there might be minor effects with no apparent health significance.
