Researchers should study more children and pregnant women in trying to figure out if cell phones or other wireless devices could damage health, the U.S. National Research Council advised on Thursday.
A few studies have indicated a possible link between mobile telephone use and brain tumors, although far more show no connection. But because wireless devices have become almost ubiquitous, researchers wants to ensure their safety.
Mobile phone masts do not cause harmful short-term health effects, according to a study of people who say they experience symptoms when they are close to them. The study deals another blow to the notion that low-level electromagnetic fields from cellphones or base stations are dangerous.
Electronic equipment is everywhere in modern life. Both per capita ownership and discards of TVs, computers and other electronics will likely increase rapidly for a variety of reasons. For example, most electronic products, including flat panel displays for televisions and monitors, have become cheaper in the last few years.
