"CHILDREN under the age of eight should not use mobile phones, parents
were advised last night after an authoritative report linked heavy use
to ear and brain tumours and concluded that the risks had been
underestimated by most scientists.

Professor Sir William Stewart, chairman of the National Radiological
Protection Board (NRPB), said that evidence of potentially harmful
effects had become more persuasive over the past five years.

The news prompted calls for phones to carry health warnings and panic in
parts of the industry. One British manufacturer immediately suspended a
model aimed at four to eight-year-olds.

The number of mobiles in Britain has doubled to 50 million since the
first government-sponsored report in 2000. The number of children aged
between five and nine using mobiles has increased fivefold in the same
period.

In his report, Mobile Phones and Health, Sir William said that four
studies have caused concern. One ten-year study in Sweden suggests that
heavy mobile users are more prone to non-malignant tumours in the ear
and brain while a Dutch study had suggested changes in cognitive
function. A German study has hinted at an increase in cancer around base
stations, while a project supported by the EU had shown evidence of cell
damage from fields typical of those of mobile phones."
