There has been a concern about the possibility of developing brain tumors since children have a developing nervous system and their head circumference is smaller, the radiofrequency electromagnetic fields may penetrate regions that are deeper in their brains. However, a new study has shown that children and adolescents who use mobile phones are not at a statistically significant increased risk of brain cancer compared to their peers who do not use mobile phones. The study was published on July 27 in the Journal of The National Cancer Institute.
Emedinews Comments: Is the study applicable to India where there is a lot of active and passive mobile radiation exposure? Is there any study available about the cancer risk taking into account both ionizing and non ionizing radiations? Till their safety is certified, one should use mobile phones only when one is mobile and definitely less than 2 hours a day.
Quite informative....Guess, still the Controversy exists....!
