Do cell phones really cause brain cancer?
For years there has been speculation over whether cell phones could cause cancer. There have been many debates over the answer with no clear cut answer emerging. Some discredit（vt.不信任，怀疑） those warning of the possible link between cancer and cell phone use as proponents（n.支持者，提倡者）of the “sky is falling” school of thought. But the argument has continued anyway.
For researchers to make a definitive determination, a study must be completed. But studies on causal links between cell phones and cancer would require years of research. Since the final word cannot be given until after the potential problems present themselves, prevention is the advice being preached by concerned researchers. Avoid pressing the cell phone up against your ear, even your body, if you can. There is special concern over the impact of the radiation on children and teens. How will the electromagnetic radiation（电磁辐射）affect their maturing brains?
Blue tooth is a great alternative to pressing the phone to your ear. Blue tooth will not emit the electromagnetic radiation concerning experts. Blue tooth and headsets are among the recommended precautions experts are suggesting. Since the potential dangers cannot be confirmed until after they occur, it might be wise to take their advice. After all, you don’t want to discover cell phones cause brain cancer after using them for forty years, do you?
中文译文：
手机是否会引癌症多年来一直是人们关注的问题。争论不断，答案未定。质疑者们把“手机会引发脑癌”这一不确定观点的持有者与“天要塌下来了”的鼓吹学派等同起来。争论仍在继续。
研究者要得出明确的答案必须彻底完成这方面的研究。但对手机与癌症因果关系的研究得花上好些年。 既然在可能性问题出现前还不能妄下定论，那么研究者们也只好劝说人们做好预防措施。尽量避免手机与耳朵甚至身体的直接接触。辐射对青少年的影响是特别值得关注的。电磁辐射会怎样影响他们正发育的大脑呢？
使用蓝牙是将手机靠近耳朵的好方法。专家认为，蓝牙设备不会释放电磁辐射。蓝牙设备和耳麦是专家们推荐的预防措施。既然潜在危险因素在它们产生之前并不能被证实，听取专家们的建议是明智之举。毕竟，你也不愿意在使用手机四十年之后才发现手机会引发脑癌，对吗？ |
