What the sources say
FDA states the weight of scientific evidence has not linked cell phone radiofrequency radiation with any health problems, and that the evidence does not show a danger to users, including children and teenagers. NCI notes that non-ionizing radiation cannot directly damage DNA. These sources do not study pregnancy specifically; NCI says studies of parental exposure during pregnancy and childhood cancer have been inconsistent and need further evaluation.
