'Flowing nanotubes, electromagnetic waves can be mentioned as new candidates of carcinogens. Electromagnetic radiation can be divided into two types: ionizing (high-frequency) and non-ionizing (low-frequency) [52]. Ionizing radiation, such as that produced by x-ray machines, can pose a cancer risk. Cell phones emit radiofrequency (RF) energy, which is radio waves and nonionizing electromagnetic radiation. Use of cellular telephones has grown explosively during the past two decades; thus, the public has become concerned over the health risks of their cellular telephones. The most significant study of long-term use of cellular telephones is the 13-country interphone study, which is a multinational consortium of case-control studies [53]). The researchers reported that overall, cell phone users have no increased risk for two of the most common types of brain tumor: glioma and meningioma. Most recent studies suggest that the amount of RF energy produced by cell phones is too low to cause significant tissue heating or an increase in body temperature **[54]. However, more research and monitoring are needed to determine whether cellular phones pose a cancer risk.'
