Mobile phones may lead to problem kids: Study
Pregnant Mothers who use mobile phones are more likely to give birth to children with behavioural and emotional problems, suggests a landmark study The research on the use of handsets can have major implications on public health.
In the study at the universities of California, Los Angeles, and Aarhus, Denmark, researchers surveyed more than 13,000 children. It found that pregnant women using mobile phones even two or three times a day was sufficient to increase the risk of their babies developing hyper activity and difficulties with conduct, emotions and relationships.
Implications on the child's health could be even greater if the children themselves used cellphones before the age of seven.
These findings are in line with warnings against both pregnant women and children using mobile phones issued by the Russian National Committee on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection. The committee, Russia's radiation watchdog body holds that the danger posed by , the use of cellphones "is not much lower than the risk to children's health from tobacco or alcohol".
