WHO首度證實 手機與致癌風險有關
過去多年來經常有報導說常用手機可能會有導致腦癌，現在世界衛生組織也證實，手機的確有致癌風險，就連手機業者也坦承，只要手機有傳送電波，不管是講電話還是發簡訊，至少要距離身體2公分以上比較安全。
手機對現代人來說幾乎已經是基本配備，就像穿衣服一樣自然，保守估計全球至少有五十億人口擁有手機，空氣中彌漫的手機傳送的電波，世界衛生組織說手機和致癌風險之間的確有關聯。
其實多年來一直有各種研究報告顯示常講手機可能導致腦癌，更有報導說男性將手機掛在腰間可能會影響生育能力，如今世界衛生組織又說手機與癌症之間有關聯性，但手機幾乎是現代人生活中不可或缺的工具，也因此專家建議民眾多利用耳機講電話或是用擴音效果，為了健康還是和手機保持距離以策安全。

世衛專家會議認定︰手機可能致癌
新頭殼newtalk 2011.06.01 鄭平/編譯報導
美國華盛頓郵報報導，一個國際專家會議在檢視過數十個已出版的研究報告細節後認定︰手機對人類可能致癌。
這項聲明是癌症研究國際總署(the International Agency for Research on Cancer)周二在法國里昂，經過一星期的專家會議後所發布的。他們檢視了在手機、微波爐還有雷達所發現的不同形態的電磁波與癌症之間的可能關聯。
這個研究總署是世界衛生組織(WHO)為癌症研究特別設立的分支機構。而這項評估結果將送達世衛組織以及各國衛生主管機關，以做為手機使用的相關指南。
這個會議將手機劃歸為2B類，意指它可能對人類致癌。其他被歸類到此項的物質包括農藥DDT以及汽油引擎排放物。

IARC CLASSIFIES RADIOFREQUENCY ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS AS
POSSIBLY CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS
Lyon, France, May 31, 2011 ‐‐ The WHO/International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B), based on an increased risk for glioma, a malignant type of brain cancer1, associated with wireless phone use.
Background
Over the last few years, there has been mounting concern about the possibility of adverse health effects resulting from exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields, such as those emitted by wireless communication devices. The number of mobile phone subscriptions is estimated at 5 billion globally.
From May 24–31 2011, a Working Group of 31 scientists from 14 countries has been meeting at IARC in Lyon, France, to assess the potential carcinogenic hazards from exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields. These assessments will be published as Volume 102 of the IARC Monographs, which will be the fifth volume in this series to focus on physical agents, after Volume 55 (Solar Radiation), Volume 75 and Volume 78 on ionizing radiation (X‐rays, gamma‐rays, neutrons, radio‐nuclides), and Volume 80 on non‐ionizing radiation (extremely low‐frequency electromagnetic fields).
The IARC Monograph Working Group discussed the possibility that these exposures might induce long‐term health effects, in particular an increased risk for cancer. This has relevance for public health, particularly for users of mobile phones, as the number of users is large and growing, particularly among young adults and children.
The IARC Monograph Working Group discussed and evaluated the available literature on the following exposure categories involving radiofrequency electromagnetic fields:
