Here’s another study that warns that children who use mobile phones are five times more likely to develop brain tumours than those who don’t. The findings were presented at a British conference, recently.
Earlier a Swedish study had indicated that under-16s were more at risk of radiation from mobile phones because their brains and nervous systems are still developing.
However a few scientists have expressed doubt about these findings, saying it takes years for cancer to develop and mobile phone use is a relatively new phenomenon. In this context, the World Health Organisation and the Australian Centre for Radiofrequency Bioeffects Research endorse the view that mobile phones DO NOT cause ill-health.
