Health Time Bomb - Mobile Phones

The Times of India have posted an article on 'Health Time Bombs ' of mobile phones.


I have to say that I have been warning people about this for years.  


Professor Denis Henshaw, of Bristol University, advocates cigarette-style warnings on mobile phone packets. "Vast numbers of people are using mobile phones and they could be a time bomb of health problems - not just brain tumours, but also fertility, which would be a serious public health issue," the Daily Mail quoted him as saying. According to a group of leading scientists, there are more than 200 academic studies that link use of the devices with serious health conditions such as brain tumours, the Daily Mail reported. A 2008 Swedish study suggested children who use mobile phones are five times more likely to develop a rare brain tumour called a glioma. Their report submitted by a leading group of British scientists states that 'Both the Government and phone companies could very easily do far more to alert the public, particularly children, to the emerging risks and safety measures'.
