children and teenagers who use cell phones are 5 times more likely to develop brain cancer.
In Britain alone, 9 out of 10 16-year-old's have their own phones
and 40% of primary schoolchildren.
Their smaller heads and thinner skulls leave them far more vulnerable,
allowing radiation to reach further into the depths of their brain.
The study specifically found that those who started using cell phones before the age of 20
had a five-fold increase in Glioma, a cancer of the glial cells,
which support the central nervous system.
Those who started young, also were 5 times more likely to develop acoustic neuromas,
benign but often debilitating tumors of the auditory nerve,
which usually lead to deafness.
People who started using cell phones after the age of 20 were 50% more likely to develop gliomas
and twice as likely to develop acoustic neuromas.
Similarly certain skeptics question whether or not internet WiFi poses long term risks.
Most current phones teeter on the brink of lawful radiation levels.
Thing is, radiation levels are monitored by how much is emitted in a single dose,
but nowadays people are exposed to multiple doses each and every day.
Despite research proving the cell phones can be harmful to certain age groups,
the government has done nothing to warn the public.
Many mobile phone companies such as Firefly advertise exclusively to children,
yet on their website I found no warnings of the danger of cell phone radiation exposure & child risk.
