Can We Reduce Cellphone Risk For Kids?

"If there are such effects, the global burden of disease could be enormous, with a significant fraction of the world population potentially affected." Assuring that global burden never emerges will require a much different approach by health officials, say many scientists and health experts interviewed by the Star, including better public disclosure of potential health risks around cellphone use, a far greater investment in research, and closer scrutiny of industry marketing to children. Based on dozens of interviews, research studies and internal Health Canada documents, the Star has compiled a list of health policy changes Canadian health officials should consider as long as the science around long-term cellphone use remains uncertain. Prudent avoidance: Until the scientific evidence becomes clearer, government health agencies such as Health Canada should formally adopt a precautionary approach already adopted or recommended by many health authorities in Europe, many experts agree. http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1121032210992&call_page=TS_News&call_pageid=968332188492&call_pagepath=News/News&pubid=968163964505&StarSource=email&DPL=IvsNDS%2f7ChAX&tacodalogin=yes
