There have been many posts in this blog on the health concerns of indiscriminate use of mobile phones. Also, articles periodically appear on this issue which is of serious concern from public health considerations. The most recent ones appeared in an Indian news paper Mumbai Mirror. The reported study indicated that the radiation from the mobile phones weakened the bones by reducing the bone density. A decade-long investigation in UK, overseen by World Health Organization (WHO), says that heavy mobile users have higher risk (39% increase) of developing brain tumours later in life. Most of the health effects are of long-term nature and will be manifested only after a few years of usage.
In spite of all these, one fails to understand why the government authorities turning a blind eye to these concerns about the potential health effects, likely to be in catastrophic scale in the near future?
