Actually, high exposure to radio sources (2G and 3G) have recently been found to cause cancer in male rats. It's unclear yet whether this effect carries over to humans.

- itcrowd 7y agoYeah, the study is widely criticized. Ars Technica gave a nice breakdown of it here: https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/02/draft-of-us-government-cell-phone-safety-study-backtracks-on-earlier-claims/ https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/02/draft-of-us-governme... > To sum up the findings: a bunch of cancers that aren't statistically different from those found in the control group; a high-fatality control group; an elevated incidence of a single type of cancer, only in males, at exposures that are well above any that a human should experience.
- swebs 7y agoTo be fair, that's just one guy on a tech blog viewing a early draft of the findings. Here's a result of the peer review of the findings by a panel of experts: https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ntp/about_ntp/trpanel/2018/march/actions20180328_508.pdf https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ntp/about_ntp/trpanel/2018/march/a... >Panel 2 voted to recommend (8yes, 3no, 0 abstentions) the conclusion, clear evidence of carcinogenic activity of male Hsd:Sprague Dawley SD rats based on incidences of malignant schwannoma in the heart
