Bernstein Liebhard LLP echoes concerns raised by the
Environmental Health Trust, concluding that the findings
from a July 2011 cell phone cancer study are inaccurate.* On
April 5, 2012, ABC News reported that scientists from the
Environmental Health Trust issued a letter stating that the
results from a July 2011 cell phone cancer study published
by the Journal of the National Cancer Institute are flawed.
According to ABC News, Lloyd Morgan, a senior research
fellow at the Environmental Health Trust and one of the
authors of the letter, called the cell phone cancer study
sloppy and said that the data actually shows that children
who used cell phones had a 115 percent increased risk of
brain tumors over those who did not. In criticizing the
study, Morgan said, Theres every indication that this study
actually found that children have a doubled risk of brain
cancer. He added, For [the researchers] to just state that
we dont think theres a problem is, for me, quite mystifying.
In light of this latest development, Bernstein Liebhard LLP
partner, Jeffrey S. Grand, commented Whats perhaps most
concerning is that when they examined cell-phone usage
records, the increased risk of brain cancer in children
began to emerge after only 2.8 years of cell-phone use,
which is a shorter time period than seen in previous
studies. The cell phone radiation lawyers at Bernstein
Liebhard LLP are currently representing individuals who used
a cell phone for significant time periods for more than
seven years and developed glioma, acoustic neuroma,
meningioma, or a tumor of the salivary gland.
Dissecting The Flaws Of Earlier Cell Phone Cancer Study
The study at the center of this latest controversy was
conducted by researchers at the Swiss Tropical and Public
Health Institute. Researchers found that of the children
studied, 350 had been diagnosed with brain cancer and 650
were healthy. As reported by ABC News, the July 2011 cell
phone cancer study concluded that a review of the data
showed that there was no cell phone link to cancer in
children. However, Martin Roosli, author of the cell phone
cancer study, noted some limitations. In addition to
conceding that a small number of children were studied,
researchers stated that they could not rule out the
possibility that mobile phones confer a small increase in
risk.
The July 2011 cell phone cancer study was the first to
examine the link between cell phone use and the risk of
brain tumors in children and adolescents. Although
researchers argued against a causal association between cell
phone use and brain tumors, many experts are not persuaded.
According to ABC News, Joel Moskowitz, director of the
Center for Family and Community Health at the University of
California-Berkeleys School of Public Health, believes that
the current evidence showing a link between cell phone
radiation and cancer is enough to take these concerns
seriously. You cant prove that its cell phone radiation, but
we certainly have a smoking gun, Moskowitz said.
