Cellphones and Children
Around 5 billion people use cellphones around the world; most people cannot live without their cellphones. And experts are apprehensive that this trend may soon catch up with children.
European research recently published in America's Journal of the National Cancer Institute that kids who use cellphones are at no greater risk of developing brain cancer than those who do not. Recently the UN agency of The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) reclassified cellphones as "possibly carcinogenic".
Dr Kurt Straif of the IARC says that the strongest evidence of cellphones being possibly carcinogenic comes from the association of use of cellphones and certain types of brain cancer. They recommend keeping the phone away from the ear and using hands free kits for voice calls.
