SMALL CHILDREN SHOULD NOT USE MOBILE TELEPHONES
Another step forward
Last week in Denmark headlines in many newspapers, television, radio said: SMALL CHILDREN SHOULD NOT USE MOBILE TELEPHONES.
The Danish Cancer organisation and the Health Council recommend that children under 10 years should not be given a mobile telephone.
This is based on the latest warnings from the British NRPB. Of course this is not new, but the new thing is that these two bodies never acknowledged this before. So they are learning.
However they claim, that there is still no proof that mobile phones are harmful for grown-ups, but all scientific studies that showed this have been performed on adults. Earliest after 3-4 years there will be results from studies done on children. Until then one should be cautious.
A few weeks ago the REFLEX report, especially the DNA results, have been widely quoted in all media and newspapers, even the engineers magazine. The two bodies mentioned above were completely silent on this matter. No wonder, a year ago they critisized the REFLEX project heavily and its scientific quality.
