Cell phones, which emit the same amount of radiation as a low powered microwave, were classified as a "possible carcinogenic" following a meeting of experts. The experts said that evidence exists to suggest prolonged use of cell phones may increase the risk of two types of tumor, acoustic neuroma and glioma. The classification means cell phones are now ranked alongside lead and exhaust fumes.
