Professor Khurana – a top neurosurgeon who has received 14
awards over the past 16 years, has published more than three
dozen scientific papers – reviewed more than 100 studies on
the effects of mobile phones. He has put the results on a
brain surgery website, and a paper based on the research is
currently being peer-reviewed for publication in a
scientific journal.
He admits that mobiles can save lives in emergencies, but
concludes that "there is a significant and increasing body
of evidence for a link between mobile phone usage and
certain brain tumours". He believes this will be
"definitively proven" in the next decade.
Noting that malignant brain tumours represent "a life-ending
diagnosis", he adds: "We are currently experiencing a
reactively unchecked and dangerous situation." He fears that
"unless the industry and governments take immediate and
decisive steps", the incidence of malignant brain tumours
and associated death rate will be observed to rise globally
within a decade from now, by which time it may be far too
late to intervene medically.
"It is anticipated that this danger has far broader public
health ramifications than asbestos and smoking," says
Professor Khurana, who told the IoS his assessment is partly
based on the fact that three billion people now use the
phones worldwide, three times as many as smoke. Smoking
kills some five million worldwide each year, and exposure to
asbestos is responsible for as many deaths in Britain as
road accidents.
Late last week, the Mobile Operators Association dismissed
Khurana's study as "a selective discussion of scientific
literature by one individual". It believes he "does not
present a balanced analysis" of the published science, and
"reaches opposite conclusions to the WHO and more than 30
other independent expert scientific reviews".
