Lead researcher Lloyd Morgan said there could be a "brain tumour pandemic' unless people changed their patterns of mobile phone use. This would include texting rather than holding the phone to the ear
研究員勞埃·德摩根說如果人們不改變使用手機的方法,很快就會發(fā)生腦瘤大流行。不僅僅是貼近耳朵接聽,就連發(fā)短信也會受到傷害。
People who talk on mobile phones are up to five times more likely to develop brain tumours than those who stick to landlines, academics have warned.
學者們聲稱,使用手機的人比用固定電話的人患腦瘤的幾率大四倍。
They say a number of previous studies into mobile phone safety 'substantially underestimated' the cancer risks and that tumours are much more common on the side of the head to which the mobile is held than on the other side.
他們說之前對手機安全性的研究“大大低估”了貼近手機那側(cè)的大腦比另一側(cè)大腦患腦瘤的危險性。
