LONDON: British scientists who
conducted the largest study yet into cell phone towers and childhood cancers say
that living close to one does not increase the risk of a pregnant woman's baby
developing cancer.
In a study looking at almost 7,000 children and
patterns of early childhood cancers across Britain, the researchers found that
those who developed cancer before the age of five were no more likely to have
been born close to a cell phone tower than their peers.
