Child Behavior Problems Linked With Cell Phone Use
The Low-Tech Times previously covered a story linking cell phone radiation with cancerous brain tumors. Now, some people may have another health reason to limit their own usage and their young children’s usage of mobile phones.
Geoffrey Lean, Environment Editor of The Independent, reports:
Women who use mobile phones when pregnant are more likely to give birth to children with behavioural problems, according to authoritative research.
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.
