Sina Science and technology news Beijing time of October 19, according to foreign media reports, the Italian Supreme Court recently ruled that the country a businessman suffering from a benign brain tumor due to the daily phone affixed to the ear for hours, and should receive compensation for work injury. In the case, Innocente Marcolin, a 60-year-old businessman, claimed that he had spent more than 6 hours a day using mobile phones and cordless phones for 12 years, talking to clients in China and other countries, leading to a tumor in his brain, which is now partly facial paralysis. Doctors with his lawyers have shown that excessive use of mobile phones can increase the risk of developing such tumours. It is not clear how the decision, which was made earlier this week, will have any effect. Until now, a lot of scientific research has failed to find a causal link between cell phone radiation and brain tumors. The World Health Organization classifies mobile phones as "possible" carcinogens, like pesticides and coffee. (Feather arrow)
