Abstract
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) announced on 31 May 2011 that it has classified radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (EMFs), including those employed by cellular mobile telephones, as possibly carcinogenic to humans [1]. This implies that there could be some cancer risk associated with the use of cell phones.
