Long-term mobile use increases brain tumour risk: AIIMS study

Study asserts phone radiation can cause tumours, finds mismatch between govt and industrial findings

After several global studies failed to find a link between mobile radiation and brain tumour, an All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS)-led research on the subject has found patterns that establish a link between the two, even as industry-funded research tends to undermine the risk of extended use of cell phones.
