  • Abstract
    In recent years, there has been a tremendous growth of cell phones with over several billions of users worldwide. Cell phone has made a great impact with our society. It is hard to imagine lives without cell phones. But the growth of cell phones and it´s interaction with the human body raised the question of whether the radiation from cell phone is harmful or not? This paper gives a brief review of all possible effects of mobile phone radiation with human tissues including both positive and negative effects. This review paper will provide answers for public health concerns about the risk of using mobile phones. Our conclusion shows that chronic exposure to EMF radiation could cause adverse health effects such as brain cancer and benign tumor. To ensure these results, we require long term research studies.
