Conclusion
“There is currently no firm evidence that using a mobile phone will
increase your risk of developing a brain tumour or any other type of
cancer.”1 This quote gives a clear answer on whether mobiles increase
the risks of getting brain cancer tumour or any other type of cancer.
However, you could argue, “we do not know enough to completely rule
out a risk.”2 This quote explains that people do not know enough
information to make a clear statement/fact.
“Mobile phones also produce small amounts of heat in the brain, but
again, not enough to pose a health risk.”3 This quote back’s up my
argument that I think brain tumours are not caused by mobile phones.
However, my conclusion could be incorrect because there is no proper
evidence to prove that mobile phones do not cause cancer.
The argument that is the strongest is the for-argument because it has
the most quotes and the sources that the quotes came from a far more
reliable. The for-argument has the most scientific information for mobile
phones causing cancer and again, they are from reliable sources.

In conclusion, I have not made my mind up. Microwave radiation is not

ionizing but not much research has been put into the experiment, and
once that is done, then I will make my mind up on whether cancer is
caused by usage of mobile phones.
