What a mobile can do to a youngster'sbrain in 2 mins

Scientists have discovered that a call lasting just two minutes can alter the natural electrical activity of a child's brain for upto an hour afterwards.

And they also found for the first time how radio waves from mobile phones penetrate deep into the brain and not just around the ear.
The study by Spanish scientists has prompted leading medical experts to question whether it is safe for children to use mobile phones at all.
Doctors fear that disturbed brain activity in children could lead to psychiatric and behavioural problems or impair learning ability.
It was the first time that human guinea pigs were used to measure the effects of mobile phone radiation on children. The tests were carried out on an 11-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl called Jennifer.
Using a CATEEN scanner, linked to a machine measuring brain wave activity, researchers were able to create the images above.
The yellow coloured part of the scan on the right shows how radiation spreads through the centre of the brain and out to the ear on the other side of the skull. The scans found that disturbed brain wave activity lasted for up to an hour after the phone call ended.
Dr Gerald Hyland - a Government adviser on mobiles - says he finds the results "extremely disturbing".
"It makes one wonder whether children, whose brains are still developing, should be using mobile phones," he adds.
"The results show that children's brains are affected for long periods even after very short-term use.
"Their brain wave patterns are abnormal and stay like that for a long period.
"This could affect their mood and ability to learn in the classroom if they have been using a phone during break time, for instance.
"We don't know all the answers yet, but the alteration in brain waves could lead to things like a lack of concentration, memory loss, inability to learn and aggressive behaviour."
Previously it had been thought that interference with brain waves and brain chemistry stopped when a call ended.
The results of the study by the Spanish Neuro Diagnostic Research Institute in Marbella coincide with a new survey that shows 87 per cent of 11- to 16-year-olds own mobile phones and 40 per cent of them spend 15 minutes or more talking each day on them. And disturbingly, 70 per cent said they would not change the use of their phone even if advised to by the Government.
Dr Hyland plans to publish the latest findings in medical journal The Lancet next year.
He said: "This information shows there really isn't a safe amount of mobile phone use. We don't know what lasting damage is being done by this exposure.
"If I were a parent I would now be extremely wary about allowing my children to use a mobile even for a very short period. My advice would be to avoid mobiles."
Dr Michael Klieeisen, who conducted the study, said: "We were able to see in minute detail what was going on in the brain.
"We never expected to see this continuing activity in the brain.
"We are worried that delicate balances that exist - such as the immunity to infection and disease - could be altered by interference with chemical balances in the brain."
A Department of Health spokesman said: "In children mobile phone use should be restricted to very short periods of time."

Apparently the hands free kit enables you to use your mobile phone SAFELY. It does no harm.

I personally can't stand using a mobile phone for calling. :)

JazakAllah for the reminder sis...Now that gives me an excuse to cut somebody off after 2 mins.

use a paper cup connected with a string to the calling destination :p u seen those sorta mobile phones?

[afriend]

yeah why not? As they say, Old is Gold.

:sl:

oh i NEVER do that!! I wont even put it anywhere near my head over night... if I need the alarm I put it all the way on the other side of the room (which is good because it forces me to get up cos it is so loud you feel like the house house is gonna wake up lol)

[The Ruler]

:sl:

its a good thing im disposing off my phone soon.

the phone radiates max when there is low reception.so use ur phone at a place where there is good reception.also the radiation is max when in use therefore i advice everyone to use headsets.even head phone usage has defects but far less.

[Re.TiReD]

oh woah! SubhanAllah!

I didnt know that....ma fone is with me 24/7 and everywhere I go! literally...rofl! and at night it's unda my pillow..I'm so addicted to it that I've been known to text and answer calls in my sleep! lol no way I could cut down tho :blind: never :skeleton:

I use my mobilephone also as alarm clock to wake me up but I make it a point to set it loud and put it at least 5 feet away from my head. There are two reasons for my doing these;

1. Sometimes when the alarm goes off sleepily I just snooze the thing and go back to sleep. Which is bad. So, putting it at a considerable distance where I have to get up to shut it off will awake me faster and more effectively.

2. The radiation issue. If it's far away from my head it can't hurt me when I am not using it.

[Re.TiReD]

lol true but putting the thing on snooze requires alot of effort anyway so that alone wakes me...lol...but we need to cut down...we should all just move to the wilderness and comunicate through wolf howls....like my avatar! lol except not at the mooon! rofl :w:

[H4RUN]

:sl:
i sleep within centimeteres of two phones:p, probably explains alot then eh:p
why not just stick to using the good ol' pigeon for communicating?:D Atleast the battery didnt run out then:D And u neva got a bill, well except for a bit of mess from the pigeon, but hey its a free country for the pigeons aswel, PIGEON RIGHTS;D
masalama

[Maidah]

errrmm, there is always new discoveries being made upon already discovered stuff. Ages ago i remember there was this news of fried stuff or oil causing cancer thing going around and people almost stopped intake of fried stuff, and even this cell phone matter has been adressed ages ago. Things like these come up all of the time, but you shouldn't blindly beleive. Just restrict amount of calling and be moderate in using the cell, no need to chuck them away.:happy:

[SophiaCroft]

wo! I did know that it affected people but did not knew that it was this dangarous? well I don't use much for calls but I do use it more for sms!? so is it harmfull then?

[Strzelecki]

*Eeeks*
But I love my phone... :(

Good point bro, thought it depends on the person, me have the same problem. But I prefer clock alarm instead of mobile alarm.
