Scientists are calling into question a study published last year that failed to find a link between cell phone use and brain tumors in children and teens. They say the study actually shows that cell phone use more than doubles the risk of brain tumors in children and adolescents.
The concerns over kids being at a higher rate for brain tumers due to cell phone use is growing thanks to the Environmental Health Trust, a group whose stated mission is to promote awareness of environmental issues they believe are linked to cancer.
Concerns over risks to children are particularly heightened, considering the rising use of cell phones among kids and teens and the fear that children's developing brains might be more susceptible to the effects of cellphone radiation.
A new study investigating the link between brain tumors and cell phone use specifically among young people is a research project currently underway in 13 countries by mobi-kids.
