TUESDAY, June 24, (News Locale) - The electromagnetic fields emitted by mobile phones are increasingly being implicated in health issues in children. One UK report has now warned parents that excessive use of mobiles by children may affect their health in an adverse manner. 

Mobile phone radiations have been linked to various disorders like depression and sleeping disorders. A recent study warned that kids and pregnant women must be kept away from mobile phones.

A number of international studies have researched the effects of mobile phone radiations on human health. In February this year Finnish scientists revealed that radiation from mobiles phones could alter the protein structure of the human skin, although its affect on the health is not yet known.

Similarly Swedish scientists had revealed in the October 2007 issue of the journal Occupational Environmental Medicine that using the mobile phone for just an hour every day for 10 years is enough to increase the risk of developing cancer.

A number of independent research efforts carried out in recent years have pin pointed the dangers posed by excessive use of mobile phones, though the World Health Organization concluded that while there might be some health risks posed by radiation from cell phones, serious health effects such as cancer are unlikely.

Recently a study has been launched under the aegis of the Indian Council of Medical Research in association with JNU''s School of Environmental Sciences and obstetrics & gynecology, neurology and biochemistry departments of AIIMS to assess the ill effects of mobile phone radiation in a conclusive manner.

The current study found that radiation from mobiles does penetrate human body and until proved otherwise, kids must be limited in using mobile phones.
