US epidemiologist Dr Devra Davis author of ‘Disconnect’ warns that children are particularly susceptible to mobile phone radiation.
Children should be encouraged to text and not talk on a mobile phone and all of us should think twice before keeing a phone close to the head or body.
The UK Russia Israel Belgium Germany Finland France India have all moved against mobile phone use by children. South Africa is following.
A resolution by the International Commission for Electromagnetic Safety signed by 54 scientists strongly advises limiting the use of mobile phones and other similar devices by young children and teenagers.
My personal fear is that we will have an emerging pandemic of deaths from mobile phone damage that takes several decades to emerge. We are already well past the first decade. It will hit the young far more than the old who have been slower to adopt mobile phones. There was once a science fiction story about the children all being taken. It feels like that. Anyway that is why I have always been so averse to using a mobile phone and even though I now own one will only keep it in my purse and use it on loudspeaker not put it to my ear.
