Terror: 20 years ago began to use mobile phones risk suffering from brain cancer five-fold increase

Sweden, a surprising new study shows that children and young people to use mobile phones, will make their future risk of brain cancer for more than five times higher than chance. Experts point out that the study worrying, brain cancer, young people today may become the future "epidemic."

Sweden, a surprising new study shows that children and young people to use mobile phones, will make their future risk of brain cancer for more than five times higher than chance. Experts point out that the study worrying, brain cancer, young people today may become the future "epidemic."

According to Hong Kong "Ta Kung Pao" on the 22nd quoted foreign reports, the study of radiation according to further analysis of the largest cancer risk data from one of the studies, from University Hospital in Orebro, Sweden Prof. Harder. Harder in this by an independent organization "Radiation Research Trust" held at the Royal Society of London meeting, said, "two-year-old before people start using mobile phones," the opportunity with glioma than five times. The young people generally have the use of household cordless telephones and long has the additional risk of the kinds of tumors, but also almost as large, that is four times more. Glioma in support of the central nervous system glial cells derived from a cancer.

Harder added that the young man began to use mobile phones of people suffering from acoustic neuroma is also an opportunity for more than five times the original. Acoustic neuroma is a benign tumor, but often result in hearing loss. The reason why their risk is higher because of their brain and nervous system is still developmental stages, but also because of their relatively small head, skull are thinner, radiation penetrate into the deeper the degree of their brain.

Harder said: "This is a warning. Is cause for concern. We should take preventive measures." He believed that children under the age of 12 years of age except in emergency, not the use of mobile phones; even teenagers should also be used to avoid put device, or to SMS as the phone's main means of communication. By 2 years old, the threat will be reduced, because by that time the brain has fully developed. However, he acknowledged, in fact, children and young people were affected, it is possible for the Institute than what he had inferred large, because his findings did not show that they use the telephone for many years by the impact. Most will lie dormant for years before cancer onset, longer than mobile phone market but also a long history.

The study shows that cell phones have been more than a decade of adults suffering from glioma and acoustic neuroma opportunity to be much higher. However, Harder said that at present not yet sufficient data to show that this relatively long-term use, will be how to increase a young age the risk of those who started using mobile phones.

Harder hopes to conduct more research, but the risks to children will not be included in the above tracking 90000 people in the United Kingdom within the scope of the study. "Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research Program" Management Committee Chairman, Professor Cogan said that children have not been included in the scope of its study is that by the Swedish Karolinska Institute in an ongoing study to young people.

He said: "Looking at an early age to start using (mobile) who actually five times higher risk of cancer the opportunity to really teach people to be afraid." But he said that once all the evidence come in handy, but it shows the risks so high, He will also "extremely surprised."

Currently Britain has Jiucheng the 16-year-olds and more than four percent of primary school students have their own mobile phone. British official "Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research Program", since the beginning ○ ○ Banian cost 3.1 million pounds, for the use of mobile phones cause cancer risk study. The study plans to investigate the threats faced by young people as a "top priority", but ultimately it is not included in the study.

The European Parliament recently by 522 votes to 16 votes, by urging all government ministers across Europe, in contact by mobile and cordless phones, Wi-fi and other devices to release the radiation, the introduction of more stringent restrictions on
