Recently, Washington University was part of a larger study that contradicts the World Health Organization’s (WHO) statement from earlier this year that suggests a correlation between cellular phone usage and cancer. Prior to the WHO release, numerous studies failed to find any link between the low-frequency radio waves used in cellular phones and any sort of cancer.

As scientists continue to weigh in on the ongoing debate on whether cellphone usage increases the likelihood of cancer, students remain divided on the issue.
