The effects that mobile phone antennas have on pregnant women and the health of the baby are and will continue to be controversial. Several scientific studies have dealt with it, including one last published in the 'British Medical Journal' confirming that there is no relationship between the mother's exposure to telephone antennas in pregnancy and childhood cancer.
According to British researchers, living near these electromagnetic fields during pregnancy does not predispose to childhood cancer. To verify this, they analyzed a group of 1397 children with cancer (brain tumors, non-hodking lymphomas or leukemia) and a group of 5588 healthy children from birth until they were four years old and measured the distance between their homes and the antennae, Energy and power.
They noted that the values between one group and the other were very similar, so they ruled out that telephone antennas could have increased the risk that children develop childhood cancer.
This will reassure many future moms, but in any case studies will continue to be carried out because, as I said at the beginning, it is a topic that generates controversy over the interests that lie behind.
The WHO has presented this year a study conducted in 13 countries on the use of mobile phones and the risk of cancer, according to which no greater risk has been detected, but research is still being carried out because this does not mean that there is no risk.
We will see then if there is more convincing evidence that allows pregnant women to be really calm about it, especially those that live very close to a telephone antenna.
