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.

cell phones have become like an addiction just like smoking and drinking. The introduction of these gadgets into the market without proper testing for safety standards for the sole reason of making money has put the health of millions in danger. It is very difficult to stop people from using something that is harmful once the get addicted to it. More over the effects are internal and is not visible to the naked eye and hence doesnt have a major impact in conveying the seriousness of the issue. With the advent of technology and the need to promote the technology to gain as much money as possible, hjumans are moving towardds their own destruction.
The only solution is to start loving life more than money and spread the feeling of "live and let live".
Nice point that you have brought up.
yeah it has to be accepted that it has become an addiction.And whenever a technology advancement is made it has the some reverse effect to human destruction than it is been useful.its similar to smoking.eventhough people know that is injurious to health they are not able to quit from it and mobile phones are even more deep in this issue.i have seen some people who live with that mobile 24hrs a day.so its much more important for them.So only by awareness i think it cannot be restricted..One solution is that the mobile manufacturing companies have to concentrate more on R&D of creating a less hazardous mobile or having upgraded safety features instead of concentrating of how to fit the whole world in the mobile..but when they think only about developing their business these issues are only in vain..
as the proverb goes
"MAN IS MADE OR UNMADE BY HIMSELF"
