Summary
Henry Lai, a bioengineering professor at the University of Washington, says that the electromagnetic radiation emitted by cell phones might be damaging to human DNA, and could even cause brain tumors. Lai says that young people have thinner skulls than adults and their brains may be more susceptible to radiation.

Details
- Parents should think twice before giving in to a young child's demands for a cell phone, some scientists say, because potential long-term health risks remain unclear.
- Researchers have speculated for more than 10 years that the electromagnetic radiation cell phones emit might damage DNA and cause benign brain tumors, said Henry Lai, a bioengineering professor at the University of Washington.
- In Britain, the chairman of the National Radiological Protection Board advised in January that parents not give mobile phones to children 8 and younger.
- Several studies have pointed to the potential impact of long-term absorption of cell phone-emitted radiation but little research has focused on children.
- Lai said he was concerned because young skulls are thinner and the growing brain may be more susceptible to radiation.
