    The document discusses cell phone use and potential health risks. It notes that cell phone use is increasing greatly and now surpasses landline use for many people. However, as cell phone use grows, so do concerns about possible health risks from prolonged exposure to cell phone radiation. While scientists have known for years that high frequency radiation can cause cancer, less is understood about risks from low frequency radiation used in cell phones. Studies on health risks have had mixed results, but experts warn people should not assume no risk exists. Tumors may take over 10 years to develop.
