A study commissioned and partially funded by the World Health Organization (WHO) has found that exposure to radiofrequency fields from smartphones does not increase the risk of brain cancer.

The research project was conducted by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (Arpansa) and headed by Associate Professor Ken Karipidis.
