Doctors and scientists from Harvard
and Yale medical schools warned Tuesday that pregnant mothers limit
their unborn babies exposure to potentially harmful radiation by keeping
cellphones away from their tummies because of the possible impact on
brain development.
The doctors offered the advice during the
Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting in Baltimore where they also
said parents should limit their children’s use of cellphones, iPads and
other wireless technology because it can cause behavioral and
concentration problems.
There is little research on the impact of the microwave radiation
and radio frequency radiation emitted by wireless devices on children,
but the doctors said early studies provide enough evidence to suggest
that parents should take caution.
The doctors comments could stoke
a longtime debate over the health dangers of cellphones, but the
industry disputed their warning...
