The Hun takes another swipe at their pet scare story, ‘mobile phone radiation<\/a>‘…<\/p>\n

Council of Europe calls for ban on mobile phones and Wi-Fi in schools<\/a><\/p>\n

* Wireless gadgets emit radiation – study
\n* Differs to WHO’s advice of little to no risk
\n* Jury still out on cancer, mobile phone link<\/p>\n

EXPERTS have called for internet-connected mobile phones and wireless laptop computers to be banned in schools.<\/p>\n

A major new study has found cancer-causing electromagnetic radiation generated by wireless gadgets – including baby monitors and cordless phones – may be harmful for children’s developing brain, reports the Herald Sun.<\/p>\n

The influential Council of Europe examined evidence that wireless technologies had “potentially harmful” effects on humans and found that immediate action was required to protect children.<\/p>\n

The respected body’s findings contrast sharply with advice from the World Health Organisation that exposure to electromagnetic fields posed little or no risk to human health.<\/p>\n

Glen Iris mother of three Donna Latter Jones said the news was a concern given our wireless world.<\/p>\n

She said a combination of cordless phone, iPhone, desktop computer and laptop running all day meant her young children – Hayden, 4, Carly, 3 and Matthew, 2 – had grown up running freely through a field of potentially harmful magnetic radiation.<\/p>\n

“Both my husband and I have definitely had concerns for a while over mobile phones and radiation, and try not to keep them close to our body,” she said.<\/p>\n

She said the risks of internet-connected devices such as laptops to children was a cause for concern.<\/p>\n

“I wouldn’t go as far as to support them being banned from classrooms, but if it turns out there are significant problems, then it should definitely be looked at,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Parents should be able to make up their own minds based on what is important to their own families, but we are bombarded with so much information these days, it’s hard to know what to believe.”<\/p>\n

After decades of often inconclusive research, the jury is still out on a link between mobile phones and cancer.<\/p>\n

Sydney University professor Bruce Armstrong was among an international panel of researchers who participated in a decade-long investigation into the health effects of mobile phones.<\/p>\n

Carried out by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, on behalf of the World Health Organisation, the Interphone Project found no clear evidence of mobile phones causing ill-health.<\/p>\n

Experts did, however, establish a possible link with brain tumours.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Hun’s story is based on this Council of Europe document<\/a>, which, first and foremost, is not a study. It’s a draft report which collects of a bunch of rumours and ‘public concerns,’ but it is most definitely not<\/em> a scientific study. It contains no hypothesis, no data, no analysis, no discussion, no conclusions… and most importantly, no evidence- not of ‘cancers caused by electromagnetic radiation’ (as claimed by The Hun) nor of anything else, for that matter.\u00a0 It’s a fact-free ‘preaching the controversy’ bit, designed to freak out non-critical thinkers.<\/p>\n

I’d really like to know why The Hun likes to burn their mobile telephone service advertisers (such as Vodafone) like this<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Someone out there is benefiting from News Ltd publishing rubbish like this, but I can’t imagine who that may be. Could News Ltd be fishing for some cash to stop running scare stories about mobile phones? Lawsy sure lightened up on certain businesses after they ponied up some coin<\/a>. Blackmail works- until you get<\/a> busted<\/a>.<\/p>\n
