Effect of cell phone signals on health have often debated. This time, the emerging research on the effect of cell phone use in pregnant women to his future behavior.
According to a new study published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, the baby in the womb could be at risk of developing behavioral problems if you treat the phone in a way that is not appropriate. For example, keep the phone in your pocket or close to your belly bulge. Because the baby in the womb are exposed to mobile phone signals were 30 percent more likely to have difficulty behaving until the age of 7 years.
One of the researchers at the UCLA School of Public Health, USA, Dr Leeka Kheifets, said that a study of 29,000 young people found that more than 10 percent of children who are exposed to mobile phone signals while still in the belly of a mother who did phone calls at least four times a day . Nearly half of the mothers to enable cell phone all the time, and about a third of children using cell phones before the age of 7 years.
"We are concerned that early exposure to cell phones could carry a risk," said Dr Kheifets.
Behavior problems in children are generally classified in psychosocial disorders, habit disorders, anxiety disorders, and disruptive behavior. Psychosocial disorders, among others relating to emotion, aggressiveness, which could interfere with her relationship with her friends at school. Habit disorders such as nail biting, hair pulling, thumb sucking, stuttering, and so forth. Anxiety disorders is quite disturbing because the child may develop obsessive compulsive disorder, social phobia, depression, or other disorders caused by certain situations. The disruptive behavior such as tantrums behavior due to anger or frustration and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
One government adviser in English at the impact of cell phone radiation, Professor Lawrie Challis, said that children should not use mobile phones at least until the age of 12 years. But in reality, more than half of children under 10 years turned out to have a cell phone.
These findings support previous research, which examined data from 13,000 children and apparently produced similar findings. Nevertheless, David Coggon, professor of occupational and environmental medicine at the University of Southampton, said that the cell phone is not to blame.
"The pattern of the results of this study indicate that the increase in behavioral problems that may be caused by other factors, rather than the use of cell phones," he said.
