An incorrect use of a cellphone
can cause cancer, a court in the northern Italian city of Ivrea
has said. In its ruling, the court sentenced work-accident
agency INAIL to pay a professional illness pension to a worker
diagnosed with a tumour after using a cellphone without
protection for three hours a day for 15 years. The tumour,
benign but invalidating, was caused by the incorrect use of the
cellphone, a judge ruled. The man's lawyer said "let's hope the
sentence leads to a campaign to raise awareness, which doesn't
yet exist in Italy".
