Mobile Overdose

In 1998, 13 European countries joined the international project «INTERPHONE», studying the harmful effects of cellular phones. Initiative was supported by the World Health Organization - and from that moment the scientific study of the effect of electromagnetic radiation "cell phones" on the structure of the brain and overall health to publish almost every year. The greatest diligence in an effort to destroy the reputation of all your favorite cell phone showed the Scandinavian countries - Sweden and Denmark (perhaps, however, the scientific zeal was prompted by good-neighborly envy of earning a good idea for the communications Finns).

"According to a study of Swedish scientists conducted on the group number of 800 people (200 of them - patients with chronic diseases), regular use of mobile phones for more than 10 years doubles the risk of a cancerous brain tumor."

This is a benign (that is, theoretically treatable) Education entitled "acoustic neuroma" occur at the transmitting signals from the ear to the brain nerve. Moreover, according to calculations the Swedes, "vulnerable" nerve is only one side of the head - the one near which the patient used to keep the phone. Later studies confirmed the findings Danes Swedes. Then alarmed «INTERPHONE» unfolded studies frightening phenomenon in a new level: now participated in the experiments up to 250 000 people. With a wealth of material available for study, the same Swedish researchers have discovered a new and terrible truth: for children under 12 years of age, brain cells are just forming, the risk of getting cancer when using mobile phones is growing not twice, but five times! And for France, announced by scientists statistics became an incentive to stop practicing the theory and the sharp turn to practice: according to the package of bills, announced recently by the Minister for the Environment by Jean-Louis Borlea, the French under 12 will soon be prohibited from using cell phones. The state plans to ban advertising aimed at children of mobile communication devices to limit the sale to minors and establish a new maximum allowable dose of electromagnetic radiation. In addition, in order to avoid exposure to harmful electromagnetic waves on the brain all the phones will be sold complete with headphones. Already, the plans of the French government may be called the most radical among similar laws of other countries. The British government, for example, ignores the recommendations of scientists do to protect children and teenagers from using mobile phones. And here in Russia for the young owners of mobile phones and their parents, even developing a special tariffs and services.
One of the last such "parent" of novelties - a system "under the supervision of the child" - has caused an unusually wide resonance within society. The essence of services, backed by all major telecom operators is the following: passing a pre-registration (to confirm the family relationship), the parent may at any moment to send a special number SMS-inquiry about the current whereabouts of the child. And check this way - whether he is in school, but not in the movie? Hath there come home after school?

"Ethical aspect of such electronic technology "spying" of course, is not certain."

But the fact that it saves a lot of parental nerve cells - a fact. A French mothers and fathers, especially famous for living in the unrest and high crime city of Paris, one can only sympathize: Cancer of their children, they assume, and save - but that's actual physical well-being subjected to enormous threat: in an emergency, your child will have nothing to signal the SOS.
