North Haven, Connecticut (PRWeb) 1 February 2012

Environment and Human Health, Inc. (EHHI) is a new report calls for tougher standards for the control of cellular technology, especially for children and pregnant women. This report is the first part of a project investigating health effects of mobile phone use. EHHI was examined by one hundredth of peer-reviewed studies that examined the potential health threats associated with mobile technology, in combination with standard rules that apply in the United States and other nations. This report provides a context for the rest of the project. Animal studies designed to examine the health effects of cell phone risks in offspring during pregnancy

John Warga, Ph.D., professor of environmental risk and policy at Yale University and lead author of the report, said that scientific evidence is strong enough to show that mobile technology creates a significant risk to the health of children and pregnant women. The weight of evidence strongly supports the safety regulation of the federal government. The cellular industry needs to take immediate steps to reduce the emission of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from the phone and avoid marketing their products to children.

EHHI President Nancy Alderman explained how long mobile phones in the U.S.. There are nearly 276 million mobile phone subscribers in the nation today, compared to 97 million subscribers in 2000, she said. More than 75 percent of teenagers own cell phones, a third more than 100 text messages a day. Children ages 8-18 spend an average of 7.5 hours per daynearly half their time while awakeon smart phones, computers, televisions and other electronic devices. Exposure to electromagnetic radiation is growing fastest among the youngest in our society, as well as services to target their advertising to children and education markets.

Hugh Taylor, MD, coauthor of the report, outlining its concerns regarding the nervous system of cell phone radiation. The brain is particularly susceptible to a number of environmental insults that can cause irreparable damage to critical periods of neurological development between conception and maturity. Several peer-reviewed studies reported changes in the nervous system of rats, mice and humans after exposure to cell phone radiation. This includes the reduction of learning, reduces reaction time, loss of motor function, reduced memory accuracy, hyperactivity and decreased cognition.

Taylor explained by differences in exposure between children and adults, thinner Skulls of young children leave the cell phone radiation to brain tissue deeper than occurs in adults. Equipment is stored in a pants pocket while in standby mode can grow reproductive organs exposed to radio frequency energy. Storage in a shirt pocket will increase the exposure of breast tissue. Children and fetuses are growing nervous system, increased frequency of cell division, possibly longer lifetime of exposure and the longer the average of all daily increases the risk of adverse health effects.

Warga warned, mobile phones have enjoyed a remarkable freedom from supervision and control authorities to protect the health and environmental risks before the mobile device market. There are no enforceable standards for limiting human exposure to cell phones. While the U.S. does not require rules to limit advertising or warning against the use of mobile devices with pregnant women and children, and many other nations.

Mobile free non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation, which varies in intensity from the model number, antenna configuration and signal strength. Most users are unaware of the new phones have been warning about the need to get equipment at a safe distance from the body, often five eighths of an inch. Since the intensity of exposure to fall exponentially as the distance between your body increases, users can limit their impact dramatically by the speaker.

World Health Organization in 2011 ranked radio frequency electromagnetic fields and a potential carcinogen in humans, based on an increased risk of glioma, malignant type of brain cancer, the use of wireless phones. However, some cancers take decades or longer to develop, and if caused by mobile devices will only be detected by epidemiological studies, often for ten years to resolve. Since the average life expectancy of the device is now two years, and the results would be inappropriate to monitor the management of existing technologies and methods to use.

growing literature in the field of psychology, Warga explained, Cellular devices can create a sense of psychological addiction. Common side effects in the literature are static, isolation, hyperactivity, inability to focus on more complex and long-term projects, and increased sensation. Anxiety

immediate threat to public health is an increasing percentage of highway deaths and injuries associated with using mobile phones while driving. Federal government reports that at any given time, about 11 percent of all drivers using cell phones. Cellular devices while driving causing death and serious threat to public health and safety. The National Safety Council attributes 23 percent of all traffic on mobile phones useat least 1.3 million crashes a year. Nearly 1.2 million of them are related to calls and 100,000 related to weaving. The authors say this is completely avoidable loss of life.

Recycling mobile phones is also serious concern about the author. In 2012, nearly 220 million mobile phones were dropped in the U.S. and less than 10 percent of those will be recycled. This is especially hazardous waste burned for dioxin emissions from some plastics, polymers and various metals that do not quit.

Nancy Alderman, president of EHHI, summary of group recommendations. The government must take more responsibility for the testing of mobile technologies before they are marketed for their safety, proper disposal and to educate the public about safe usage.
