Every once in a while, the issue of radiation comes forward, spreading
doomsday fears about cell phone usage. The latest report comes from
France's safety watchdog group, which says that children and heavy users
should limit their daily cell phone use. This warning comes despite the
group's conclusion that cell phones produce "no proven effect" on
health.
According to The National Agency for Health, Food and
Environmental Safety in France, children and heavy users should limit
their exposure on cell phones to just 40 minutes a day. The
recommendation was made by a panel of 16 experts who studied 300
scientific studies that have been released since 2009. Some of the
studies have linked long term cell phone use with the development of
brain cancer.
A commerce manager who spend 6 hours a day on a
cell phone for 12 years as part of his job, was awarded compensation by
an Italian Court for a brain tumor that the court ruled had come on as a
result of his cell phone use. The French agency also blamed cell phone
radiation for fertility issues, cognitive problems, and issues with
sleep. Despite all of this information, The National Agency for Health,
Food and Environmental Safety was forced to admit that "
the
agency's experts were unable to establish any causal link between the
biological effects described in cell models, animals or humans, and any
possible resulting health effects."
