Addicted to your iPhone? Yeah, we are, too. But maybe it's time for an intervention. 沉迷于你的iPhone吗？是的，我们也是。但是可能现在必须进行干预了。 An international panel of experts convened by the World Health Organization dropped a bomb on the nearly 5 billion cell phone users yesterday, releasing a new report suggesting that cell phone use is a possible carcinogen. 昨天，世界卫生组织召集的国际专家小组对接近50亿手机用户投下一颗炸弹：公布一项新的报道表明使用手机可能致癌。 In fact, researchers report that just 30 minutes of cell phone use a day (or more) is a category B carcinogen -- akin to talcum body power and pickled vegetables. 事实上，研究人员报道，每天只要打电话30分钟或以上就属于B类致癌物质—类似于爽身粉和泡菜。 The conclusion marks a shift from WHO's original position, stating there were no risks from cell phone use. The experts stressed, however, that the evidence of a link remains elusive and more research is needed to further explore the possible risk. 这个结果标志着世界卫生组织从原初立场声称的使用手机没有危害的转变。然而，专家强调，证明这个联系的证据还很难捉摸，需要更多的研究进一步探索出可能的危害。 "It's about time we started to take cell phone radiation much more seriously," says Ann Louise Gittleman, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of Zapped. "Certainly, technology is not going away, but we desperately need to educate and develop strategies to lessen our exposure to man-made and artificial radiation which have been found to have biological effects." |
