EU ban on mobiles
By Techgirl

A Council of Europe Committee has examined evidence that some of the technologies have "potentially harmful" effects on humans, and concluded that immediate action was required to protect children.  They have recommended the following for every country in the European Union


• Set thresholds for levels of long-term exposure to microwaves of the type emitted by mobile phones;

• Introduce clear labelling on products indicating the presence of electromagnetic fields and any health risks associated with use;

• Ban all mobile phones and wireless networks in classrooms and schools;

• Run information campaigns aimed at children and young adults about the risks to human health;

• Step up research on less-dangerous types of antennae and mobile phones.
