Cell Phones
Can Possibly Alter Your Cerebro-Spinal Fluid in Your Brain
Radiation from mobile phones causes changes in the brain which could
pose risks to health, an authoritative two-year study has concluded.
In ground-breaking research on the effects of radiation on the brain - which
has for the first time used human cells rather than rats - scientists found
that even low-level emissions from handsets affects cells.
They believe the changes could disable a safety barrier in the body which is
meant to protect the brain from harmful substances in the blood. The
scientists are now calling for further research to discover how important
the effects on health might be.
The study, conducted by the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority in
Finland, found that exposing human cells to one hour of mobile phone
radiation triggered a response which normally only occurs when cells are
being damaged.
This led the cells which make up blood vessel walls to shrink, allowing tiny
molecules to pass through into brain tissue.
The report's conclusion warns: "The possible RF-EMF (radiation-induced
breakage of the blood-brain barrier), if occurring repeatedly over a long
period of time, might become a health hazard because of the possible
extra-capillary accumulation of molecules that might cause brain tissue
damage."
The study is a an important step forward in mobile phone research because it
has proved biochemical changes, which were found to occur in rats, also
occur in human cells. Scientists now need to discover how the human body
reacts to such changes and whether it can cope, or if there are serious
health threats.
Professor Darius Leszczynski, who will present the research at a conference
in Canada this month, said he could confirm that radiation from mobile
phones does affect the delicate make-up of human cells. "We have shown there
are biochemical changes in human cells," he told the Evening Standard.
"Other studies in animals have shown this can lead to a leakage in the blood
brain barrier.
"So what I believe is that we will find these leaks occur in humans too.
What we do not know is the extent of these leaks and whether they have an
effect on our health.
"Our bodies may be able to cope with it so there will be no risks. But it
could be found that, over time, the effects on health could be much more
significant."
Two years ago, a government inquiry into mobile phones led by Sir William
Stewart concluded there was no evidence of a risk to health. But he advised
that caution is taken over the use of mobiles by children until more
evidence on the impact on health is gathered.
Despite multi-million pound research across the world since then, the
effects of long-term use still remains unclear. But recently, a handful of
studies have begun to raise questions over safety. A survey of 11,000 people
in Sweden and Norway found that many suffer from headaches and tiredness
after using the gadgets.
Another study, by Swedish cancer specialist Lennart Hardell, suggested that
using the old analogue mobiles, popular in the early Nineties, increased the
risk of cancer.
His research is now at the centre of a lawsuit in the US. Judges are
deciding whether it provides enough proof of a link between cancer and
mobile phones for claimants to take manufacturers to court.
However, the growing body of research on mobiles and health is leading some
countries to consider action. China is debating whether to force phone
companies to reduce the levels of radiation. British experts said last night
there was no need for panic. They insisted that more research was needed.
