In the modern world it has almost become a part of the human body: the mobile phone is an essential aspect of our daily communication. And many use it without measure in their everyday life.

However, a recent French study sounded the alarm indicating that excessive use of mobile phone can cause significant health problems. Specifically, the use of mobile for more than half an hour a day over a time span of five years may triple the risk of developing certain types of brain cancer.

The duration of our daily talks on the mobile phone is directly proportional to the dangers that may be caused by it. The study claims that people who on average use their mobile phone for 15 hours per month tend to have two to three times greater risk of developing glioma and meningioma, which are the two most common types of primary brain tumor in the adult population.
