    1. Do Cell phones cause brain cancer?

Mobile phones have been classified as possibly carcinogenic by the IARC. This finality was attained after the conclusion that mobile phones had the ability to cause glioblastomas and brain tumors. Therefore, through the use of waves, mobile phones played a role in the destruction of DNA leading to mutations that caused cancer.

Al-Serori, H., Ferk, F., Kundi, M., Bileck, A., Gerner, C., Mišík, M., … & Herold-Mende, C. (2018). Mobile phone specific electromagnetic fields induce transient DNA damage and nucleotide excision repair in serum-deprived human glioblastoma cells. PloS one, 13(4), e0193677.
