Side effects of mobile phone has always been on air, and now, the new study conducted in USA shows that pregnant mothers using cell phone hamper the healthy growth of their kids, and in subsequent life these kids develop abnormal behavior. The study shows the risks were higher for children exposed pre-natal than those who were exposed only post-natal.

 

The study shows that when the kids reached age 7, mothers were quizzed on the behavior of their wards and conclusions were made on the queries. The researchers reached on to the conclusion that children with both prenatal and postnatal cell phone exposure were 80% more likely to have emotional problems, conduct problems, hyperactivity, or problems with peers.

 

However, Leeka Kheifets of the UCLA School of Public Health, member of research team said that the finding certainly shouldn't be over interpreted, but nevertheless the study points in a direction where further research is needed. She and her team studied a group of 13,159 children whose mothers had used cell phone during pregnancy.
