Heavy use of mobile phones can cause cancer
http://www.newkerala.com/news/fullnews-109614.html
London, May 18 : Just half an hour a day on your mobile phone can
increase the risk of brain cancer by a third, according to a report.
The interphone report, which has been largely funded by the mobile
phone industry, was based on interviews in 13 countries over 10 years
with 5,000 brain cancer victims or a friend or relative of those who
had died or were too ill to be quizzed, reports express.co.uk.
It also found out that the heaviest user category were in greater
danger of developing malignant glioma tumours, which account for half
of all brain tumours in the Britain.
"It's time for the government to put warnings on mobile phone
packaging and to issue cautions over children, similar to those in
other countries," said Grahame Blackwell, a spokesman for health
charity WiredChild.
"Parents just don't realise the dangers, which go beyond brain
tumours, and the government needs to inform them because the
manufacturers certainly won't," he added.
