Keep Children Away from Mobile Phones: Indicate Studies

Children Using Mobile Phones

We had already reported about the increased risk of brain tumor due to the excessive use of mobile phones. Agreeing to the Israeli scientists, even Swedish experts have come to the same conclusion.

Swedish scientists analyzed the results of 11 previous studies carried out globally. And they came to the conclusion that almost all studies in the past had discovered an increased risk of cancer amongst long term mobile users.

Professor Lennart Hardell at the University Hospital in Orebro and Professor Kjell Hansson Mild at Umea University said that long-term mobile users had double the chance of getting a tumor on the same side of the brain where they held the handset for over 10 years.

The study published in the ‘Occupational Environmental Medicine’ said that people who are using the cell phone for a decade or more than that have 20% more chances to get affected with acoustic neuromas (a type of brain tumour) and 30% more likely to get malignant gliomas (a common brain tumour).

Keeping this in mind, children who have a long life to live should to be kept away from mobile phones and such harmful technology.
