With the popularity of cell phones, it's understandable some might be concerned that they cause cancer or help tumors grow in certain parts of the body. This concern is especially true as parents allow their children to have varying forms of smartphones at younger and younger ages. Smartphones use radiofrequency to work. Individuals might understand radiofrequency regarding their microwave, and it is this correlation that often makes them wary about cell phones. However, the difference rests on how much radiofrequency and energy is used. A microwave uses a high amount of radiofrequency and thus could cause damage to someone if they decided to stick their head inside of one. A smartphone does not use that much energy. At least not enough to heat the body's tissues, which is primarily where the problems would begin to arise. Researchers and scientists have conducted numerous studies to examine the effects smartphones have on the body, and they have found they do not cause cancer nor increase tumor growth.
