“This is the first experimental evidence that fetal exposure to radiofrequency radiation from cellular telephones does in fact affect adult behavior,” said senior author Dr. Hugh S. Taylor, professor and chief of the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences.
A control group case study using pregnant mice exposed to an active but muted and silenced cell phone revealed more “hyperactive and had reduced memory capacity” in their offspring. The study measured brain electrical activity in adult mice exposed to the radiation as fetuses against those not exposed. Dr. Taylor’s study reveals that the development of neurons in the fetus prefrontal cortex region is adversely effected, when exposed to cell phone use during pregnancy.
The dangers behind cell phone use are nothing new. Exposure to “radio frequency” (RF) has been a concern for almost 20 years. More concerning is the possible exposure to RF near the fetus. The results of the control study group revealed that even using an active phone around a fetus can be dangerous to the unborn child.
Arguments can be made that the subjects used (mice) against the bombardment of frequency’s received (cell phones) was not in proportion, but the concern still exists. If a muted, silenced cell phone can actively emit RF’s then it can still expose a fetus to the dangers caused through contact.
The concern over whether or not this frequency can cause irreversible brain damage should be enough to eliminate the use of or exposure to cell phones during pregnancy.
