Dr. Kumar explains that cell phones emit a special type of radiofrequency (RF) radiation. This is a type of non-ionizing radiation. Unlike ionizing radiation from X-rays, which can damage DNA and potentially cause cancer. There is no evidence that non-ionizing radiation causes tumors. Benign tumors like meningioma and cancerous tumors like glioma have been observed. Research has found that there is no evidence of this. Some studies have found a small increase in the risk of cancer, but there is no strong evidence for this.
