EMR not Linked with Brain Cancer: Study

In recent study, Monash University senior researcher, Geza Benke, a radiation therapy expert, found that there are no possible links between electromagnetic radiations and development of brain tumors or cancers.

He said that there is very scope that the two are interrelated. His team examined the cancer tumors in three different sites viz. Queensland, Toowong and RMIT University.
The researchers established that there were no sufficient evidences which could substantiate that brain cancer is resultant of exposure to electromagnetic radiation.
"It may seem coincidental that a number of people from the same office building are diagnosed with cancers but the number is reasonable", Benke said.
The team explained that electromagnetic radiations are exposed whenever the electric current gets into a power pool.
The main natural sources of electromagnetic radiations include electrical equipment, solar radiation, power lines and mobile phone systems.
According to World Health Organization, the radiation emissions are rising with the rising demand in the electricity.
Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency said that the removal of radiations from the environment is not at all achievable. However, a deeper study of the radiations can help in controlling these emissions.
