Children should avoid using mobile phones for all but essential calls because of possible health effects on young brains. This is one of the expected conclusions of an official government report to be published this week. The report is expected to call for the mobile phone industry to refrain from promoting phone use by children, and to start labeling phones with data on the amount of radiation they emit.
The Independent Expert Group on Mobile Phones, chaired by former government chief scientist William Stewart, has spent eight months reviewing existing scientific evidence on all aspects of the health effects of using mobile phones. Its report is believed to conclude that because we don’t fully understand the nonthermal effects of radiation on human tissue, the government should adopt a precautionary approach, particularly in relation to children.
There is currently no evidence that mobile phones harm users or people living near transmitter masts. But some studies show that cell-phones operating at radiation levels within current safety limits do have some sort of biological effect on the brain.
John Tattersall, a researcher on the health effects of radiation at the Defense Evaluation and Research Agency’s site at Porton Down, agrees that it might be wise to limit phone use by children. "If you have a developing nervous system, it’s known to be more susceptible to environmental insults," he says, "So if phones did prove to be hazardous — which they haven’t yet—it would be sensible."
In 1998, Tattersall showed that radiation levels similar to those emitted by mobile phones could alter signals from brain cells in slices of rat brain, "What we’ve found is an effect, but we don’t know if it’s hazardous," he says.
Alan Preece of the University of Bristol, who found last year that microwaves increase reaction times in test subjects, agreed that children’s exposure would be greater. "There’s a lot less tissue in the way, and the skill is thinner, so children’s heads are considerably closer," he says.
Stewart’s report is likely to recommend that the current British safety standards on energy emissions from cell-phones should be cut to the level recommended by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, which is one-fifth of the current British limit. "The extra safety factor of five is somewhat arbitrary," says Michael Clark of the National Radiological Protection Board. "But we accept that it’s difficult for the UK to have different standards from an international body."
On the issue in question, Preece______.
选项
A、does not agree with Tattersall
B、tries to remove the obstacles in the way
C、asks for further investigation
D、would stand by Stewart
答案
D
解析
在第二段中Stewart用了8个月的时间浏览现存的手机影响健康的科学证明。在他的报告中下结论说由于我们不完全理解辐射对人体的影响,政府应该采取更审慎的态度,尤其在与孩子相关的方面。在第六段中Preece agreed that children’s exposure would be greater.(Preece也认为孩子暴露于手机辐射的几率更大)。从此可以判断,Preece是支持Stewart的观点的。
