Mobile phone radiation

The case against mobile phones is gathering momentum

Evidence of dangers to people from mobile phones is increasing.

But proof is still lacking, largely because many of the biggest dangers take decades to appear

Cancer, tumors and other diseases are likely to be increased although most research has so far proved inconclusive.

But an official Finnish study found that people who used mobile phones for more than 10 years were 40 per cent more likely to get a brain tumour on the same side as they held the handset.

Equally alarming, Swedish research revealed that radiation from mobile phones killed off brain cells,

This indicates that today's teenagers could go senile in the prime of their lives.

Studies in India and the US have raised the possibility that men who use mobile phones heavily have reduced sperm counts.

Certainly young children under eight should not be using mobile phones

Most countries have done little to warn their citizens of these potential dangers

If you use a mobile phone, and who doesn't, then please observe the following simple rules

Keep conversations to a reasonable length

Use extension devices where possible and practicable

Hold mobiles slightly away from your ear when using mobile only.

Concern about long term effects is real and in such a situation it is smart to limit our possible damage as much as we can

Be smart
