Keep children from mobiles

CNN.com - Expert: Keep children from mobiles - Jan 11, 2005: "Children under the age of 8 should not be given mobile phones by their parents, the head of an official safety study in Britain has warned. William Stewart, chairman of Britain's National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB), said Tuesday he believed that mobiles might pose a health risk, although this was not yet proven.

Recent reports from Europe raised concern over possible links between mobile use and tumors in the ear, and any health risk -- if it exists -- is certain to be greater for children than for adults, he said."
