Using cellphones is considered a possible cause of malignant
brain cancer, an international panel of scientists says.  "The
WHO/International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified
radio frequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic
to humans, based on an increased risk for glioma, a malignant
type of brain cancer, associated with wireless phone use," the
group said in a statement Tuesday from Lyon, France.  "Given the
potential consequences for public health of this classification
and findings," said IARC director Christopher Wild, "it is
important that additional research be conducted into the long-
term, heavy use of mobile phones. Pending the availability of
such information, it is important to take pragmatic measures to
reduce exposure such as hands-free devices or texting."  The
agency's working group of 31 scientists from 14 countries met
this week to review hundreds of scientific papers on
radiofrequency electromagnetic fields, including cellphones.
