Yet another study that points to problems related to mobile phones. Years ago the industry could easily dismiss studies linking mobile phones to brain cancer since extended phone usage was still relatively new. Now research is suggesting that long term use of phones increases brain cancer risk. Across Europe more studies are also suggesting serious issues related to mobile phones and children and now this.
A giant study, which surveyed more than 13,000 children, found that using the handsets just two or three times a day was enough to raise the risk of their babies developing hyperactivity and difficulties with conduct, emotions and relationships by the time they reached school age. And it adds that the likelihood is even greater if the children themselves used the phones before the age of seven.
The results of the study, the first of its kind, have taken the top scientists who conducted it by surprise. But they follow warnings against both pregnant women and children using mobiles by the official Russian radiation watchdog body, which believes that the peril they pose "is not much lower than the risk to children's health from tobacco or alcohol".
