Cell Phone Radiation Causes Child Behavior Abnormal!

Cell Phone Radiation Causes Child Behavior Abnormal: The controversy surrounding of negative effects from phone radiation (cell phone) never seems to end. After it was not proven to increase the risk of cancer, now it appears that the alleged radiation triggers behavioral disorders in children.

The greatest risk is experienced by children who are accustomed to using mobile phones since too young. Even in the womb, the fetus has been affected by this impact if her mother too often uses the phone during pregnancy.

The findings were revealed by researchers from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health recently. Quoted from Ninemsn, Tuesday (7/12/2010), the study involved 28,000 children aged 7 years and 100,000 mothers who became pregnant between 1996-2002.

During pregnancy, mothers were asked to fill out a questionnaire about lifestyle including the frequency of cell phone use. A similar questionnaire was given again after childbirth and when the child entered the age of 7, while the researchers looked at the child's emotional and behavioral records.

The results show children who use mobile phones since toddlers are 50 percent more at risk of behavioral disorders when entering the age of 7 years. Abnormal behavior is quite varied, one of which is attention and hyperactivity distraction (GPPH).

In children who have not been accustomed to using a mobile phone, the risk remains high if during pregnancy her mother often uses the phone. Not much different from the first group, mobile phone use during pregnancy increases the risk of behavioral disturbance by up to 40 percent when the child is 7 years old.

In research, Increased risk of behavioral disorders is so high when compared with the average use of mobile phones in the children respondents. In the report, researchers say none of the respondent's children who use the phone more than 1 hour/week.

These findings reignite the controversy about the dangers of phone radiation. As of May 2010, the World Health Organization has confirmed that the increased risk of brain cancer due to phone radiation is not very significant.
