We all know that cell phones are convenient to use, but like any other product these handsets might have ill effects on the people that use them.
A recent study in the UK has found that expecting mothers that use cell phones frequently during their pregnancy could be causing damage to their unborn children. The study, published in Britain’s Daily Mail and The Independent found that mothers that said they used a mobile phone while pregnant were 54% more likely to report hyperactivity and emotional problems in their children.
The report which polled 13,000 women found that moms that used a cell phone two or three times daily was enough to raise the risk of these problems with children and that children under the age of 7 using these phones puts them in more danger, exposing them to radiation.
The research, conducted jointly with academics in Aarhus, Denmark, is due to be published in the respected medical journal Epidemiology in July.
