I hope Evo won't ban me...

The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields, which are emitted by cellphones, as possibly carcinogenic to humans. This means that there is limited evidence suggesting a potential link between cellphones and cancer risk.
Cellphones emit radiofrequency electromagnetic fields through radio waves, which are a form of non-ionizing radiation. This radiation is absorbed by the body when the phone is held close to the head or body.
The WHO has stated that there is a possible link between cellphone use and glioma, a type of brain cancer. However, there is currently no conclusive evidence to support this claim. Other types of cancer, such as breast cancer and leukemia, have not been found to have a link with cellphone use.
To reduce potential risks, the WHO recommends using hands-free devices or speakerphone when talking on the phone, and keeping the phone away from the body when not in use. Additionally, limiting the amount of time spent on the phone and using a headset or text messaging instead of calling can also reduce exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields.
The WHO states that there is currently no evidence to suggest a safe level of exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields. However, they also state that the exposure from cellphones is generally low and the potential risks are still being studied.
