Experts have warned that mobile phones may cause serious
health hazards in the near future and claimed that they
could be 'health time bombs'.
Professor Denis Henshaw, of Bristol University, advocates
cigarette-style warnings on mobile phone packets. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/health-fitness/health/Cell-phones-could-be-health-time-bombs/articleshow/10668342.cms
"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'.
Despite the experts admitting to the fact that the links are
not proven, they argue that 'schools, phone shops and the
healthcare system' should be enrolled into a campaign to cut
mobile phone use.
However, the critics, who stresstaht scientists have found
inconclusive evidence, say that a campaign would cause
panic.
Other peer-reviewed studies have found inconclusive links to
low sperm counts, behavioural problems in children whose
mothers used them during pregnancy, and damage to brain
cells.
One of the authors, Kevin O'Neill of Charing Cross Hospital,
said the latency period for brain tumours is 30 years so it
is possible the consequences of phone use are not yet
apparent.
"Waiting for certainty of harm is a dangerous policy," he
said.
