Russia scientist links brain tumours to cell phone use

A leading Russian scientist has said, citing a Swedish study, the use of cell phones from an early age could lead to brain tumours. "There is data suggesting brain tumours could develop," Yury Grigoryev, a leading scientist at the Burnazyan Medical Biophysical Center said. Grigoryev cited Swedish research data, which he said showed that if a child uses a cell phone from 8 to 12 years, then the risk of developing a brain tumour by the age of 21 increases fivefold.
