Ive been asked about this question several times. We are using cellphones everyday for both personal and business use. Even some kids are starting to use this technology. But are they SAFE?
Evidence so far is pretty limited and the best available studies on this subject was published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2001. with one follow up case control study done in UK published in the British Medical Journal recently in 2006.
Both studies reached similar conclusions…that so far the use of hand held phones poses no threat to the general public in terms of increasing one’s risk to develop tumors especially the brain. That with the data analyzed…there has been no increase in the incidence of glioma or meningioma up to the year 2004.
That’s great news to all of us who can’t live without our cell phones tucked inside our bag or belt. However the authors cautioned that… the findings should be seen as an estimate of the risk at an early stage of the use of this technology. We all are aware that technology advances so rapidly that complications arising from their use may be underestimated based on current findings.
My only advise on this matter is … more of a concern on the rapid use of cell phones among children less than 10 years old. I strongly recommend to limit the use of cell phones on the kids. We still have no firm data on cellphones and the developing brains of these kids. Their impact may not be known until decades after.
Use The Benefits of Your Cell Phones… With Care!
