Although there are many sources of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields, such as near transmitters, cellphones are the highest source of exposure for most people because they are held directly to the head, allowing the body to absorb radiation.

But the group is also warning consumers not to panic because there is not enough scientific evidence to say that cellphones pose a serious health risk.

“The meeting didn’t determine that cellphones cause cancer. It didn’t determine that they probably cause cancer,” Jack Siemiatycki, Guzzo chair in environment and cancer at the University of Montreal and member of the IARC panel, said in an interview from France. “It determined they possibly cause cancer.”

The panel and other leading experts are calling for more research to help determine the nature of the potential risks.

It’s an important undertaking, as the popularity of cellphones has skyrocketed over the past decade. Many researchers are particularly worried about the effects of exposure on children, whose brains are still developing and who are more vulnerable to potential health threats than adults are.

“The evidence is mounting, but there’s still some uncertainty, which we are addressing through further studies,” said Daniel Krewski, director of the McLaughlin Centre for Population Health Risk Assessment at the University of Ottawa.
