It is rare to see a teenager (and even some pre-teens) without a mobile in the UK at the moment. The advantages of being able to keep in touch at all times may be useful to parents, but many worry about mobile phone safety. Are mobiles safe for children? How can parents make kids use them in a sensible way to minimise possible health problems in the future?

Are Mobile Phones Safe?

There is ongoing speculation that mobile phone use may be harmful. Some believe that heavy usage can be linked to the development of some cancers and diseases of the nervous system. At this point in time, however, there is no concrete evidence available that parents can use as a definitive guideline.

Mobiles have been used for a relatively short number of years and research is in its infancy. The European COSMOS survey, for example, is an ongoing project that will monitor the effects of mobile phone usage over 20-30 years. So, there may be no hard answers in the near future.
