www.emfnews.org www.emfnews.org www.emfnews.org Parents should ensure their children use mobile phones only when absolutely necessary because of the potential health risks, an expert is warning. The latest study by Sir William Stewart says there is still no proof mobile phones are unsafe, but warns precautionary steps should be taken. Sir William said children under eight should not use mobile phones at all. In light of the findings, a phone designed for this age group has been withdrawn from sale in the UK. The MyMo phone went on sale five months ago aimed at four to eight-year-olds to use in an emergency. But in a statement, the UK distributor Communic8 said: “Although we feel the product, if used as recommended with parental guidance, is safe, we are not experts in either the radiation or medical fields that Sir William and his team are. “Simple common sense has convinced us that even the remotest possibility of our product becoming a health risk to any child is unacceptable.” Advice ignored Sir William, now of the National Radiological Protection Board, first warned five years ago that children should only use mobiles in emergencies. But he is now concerned that advice is being ignored. Mobile phone operators welcomed the fact that Sir William’s report highlighted the lack of hard evidence linking handsets with adverse health effects. One in four seven to 10-year-olds now own a mobile phone — double the levels in 2001, according to latest figures. www.emfnews.org www …

www.emfnews.org www.emfnews.org www.emfnews.org by Deborah Mitchell Some of the most popular cell phones on the market are among the ones that emit the most radiation, placing cell phone users at possible risk of cancer. This warning comes from the Environmental Working Group (EWG), which just released an online consumer guide that provides comprehensive information on cell phone radiation emissions for consumers. Samsung Impression and Motorola RAZR are named as top two cell phones that have the lowest radiation emission. The Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit research organization that provides information to consumers on how to protect human health and the environment, rated more than 1000 cell phones that are marketed in the United States. The cell phones found to emit the greatest amount of radiation were the Motorola MOTO Vu204 (Verizon Wireless), T-Mobile myTouch 3G (T-Mobile), Kyocera Jax S1300 (Virgin Mobile), the Blackberry Curve 8330 (Spring, US Cellular, VerizonWireless, MetroPCS), and Motorola W385 (US Cellular, Verizon Wireless). There has been controversy and debate for years about the possible risk of cancer associated with cell phone use. While the EWG study and recent scientific research are not conclusive, together they raise enough red flags for consumers to take note about the risk of cancer. Olga Naidenko, PhD, senior scientist at the Environmental Working Group, noted in the group’s news release that there is enough concern that consumers …
