An increased risk of cancer seems to be caused by cell
phones usage. 3,000 employees were warned through a memo to limit their
childrens cell phone usage. Studies about the relation between cell phones and
brain cancer will be released by the World Health Organization in two years.
More detailed data will be put in an official report.
A potential risk could be the one caused by the
electromagnetic fields emitted by the cell phones. That is why a child should
not use a cell phone so much. His developing organs are very sensitive to any
exposure to electromagnetic fields.
Some of the warnings released on the internet advise people
to keep the cell phones as far away as possible from the body. If the cell
phone is not used in a certain moment, it should be kept far away from the body
at night, especially not under the pillow or on the bedside.
Experts said that the offline mode of the phone stops the
electromagnetic emissions.
The use of cell phones when the signal is low or when moving
at a high speed must be forbidden as this increases power to maximum because
the phone attempts to connect to a new relay antenna.
More and more of the phones nowadays also have cameras and
Web access, so the parents should really limit their children using their cell
phones. In 2004, 21% of children aged between 8 and 10 and 36% of the ones aged
between 11 and 14 had cell phones.
