There are issues which are constantly the matter of public debates and those related to health are the most controversial ones. Cell phone is one of the most praised and yet most disputed inventions of the twentieth century.
The fact that all those researches are all carried out in the span of ten years means that they still cannot give us complete and substantial information about the risks. Still, due to the fact that head and brain are most impacted by this radiation, simply because of the proximity, other vital body parts are neglected in researches, but this doesn’t mean that there are none of them.

There is a catch when it comes to those researches. There are some indications that phone companies actually pay for some researches which are supposed to convince people that there is no risk in using cell phones. According to them the worst thing that can happen is that people who use cell phones excessively can only get irritated

 and that there are no other hazards for the health. This of course, is not the only risk and you should bear that in mind. 

Using cell phones by children & in pregnancy

One of the most sensitive issues in this whole discussion is the risk for pregnant women and children. The scope of those researches is to see whether children are more susceptible to those health risks, but as for all other categories it is hard to come out with concrete results again because of the long-term effects which are not visible until those children are teenagers. It is also not very recommendable for pregnant women to use cell phones more that it is necessary as there are some speculations that ELF can bring about some genetic mutations and DNA damage.
Even if those speculations about DNA damage prove to be wrong, according to a huge study carried out in Denmark children whose mothers used cell phones during pregnancy developed some behavioral problems, like hyperactivity. That is why kids and pregnant women should always use headphones in order to reduce the radiation. 

Bottom line

The bottom-line of this whole discussion is that though there are no clear and straightforward results which would be able to state directly that using cell phones can definitely cause brain cancer and similar diseases, we should take the opposite claims advocated by telecommunication and cell phone companies that there is no risk for the health.
