The above paragraph has been taken from the relevant page and is the introduction to the whole page. It is a fact with a statistic which is a way of shocking the reader and enticing them to continue reading.
This page explains how concerns have been expressed that frequent exposure to radio waves through mobile phones can increase the risk of health implications such as cancer.
This page also gives a brief list of points to advise how to be safe whilst driving and being in possession of a mobile phone - such as 'if you need to use your mobile phone, stop in a safe place'. Car users should know it is illegal to use a phone whilst driving, so the points are there to remind people to use their phones safely.
Overall this is a brief page which highlights certain ways in which one can use their mobile phone more safely.

There is also a second section of the page which emphasises the risks of mobile phone use - including risks to children, interference with electrical equipment and more.
In this section it actually explains that the radio waves produced by mobile phones do not pose a known risk to health as they are not powerful enough - however there are other risks which can affect things other than health.
