After reflecting on studies by Australian neurosurgeon Dr Vini Khurana, officials in India have decided to launch their own cell phone study.
In his research, Khurana says heavy usage of cell phones for a period of 10 years or more doubles the chances of brain tumour. It also, he adds, has larger public health ramification than asbestos and smoking.
