Artikel dengan judul diatas masuk ke inbox e-mail saya beberapa hari yll ... dan agak mengganggu pikiran, mengingat beberapa rekan yg sedang mengandung putera-puterinya. Selain itu, kelanjutan artikel tersebut menguraikan juga bahwa the increase in cell phone usage is one of the primary causes of the autism epidemic. Nah, ini yg bikin tambah pikiran.
Supaya para ibu hamil lebih waspada, saya coba tuliskan di blog ini ya ...
Women who use mobile phones when pregnant are more likely to give birth to children with behavioral problems, according to a study of more than 13,000 children.
Pregnant women using the handsets just two or three times a day was enough to raise the risk of their babies developing hyperactivity and difficulties with conduct, emotions and relationships by the time they reached school age.
The likelihood is even greater if the children themselves used the phones before the age of 7.
Specifically, mothers who used mobile phones were 54 percent more likely to have children with behavioral problems. When the children also later used the phones themselves, they were:
- 80 percent more likely to suffer from difficulties with behavior
- 25 percent more at risk from emotional problems
- 34 percent more likely to suffer from difficulties relating to their peers
- 35 percent more likely to be hyperactive
- 49 percent more prone to problems with conduct
bapaknya anak2 di rumah (yang kerjanya di bidang elektronika arus lemah), sudah jauh-jauh hari memperingatkan supaya jangan terlalu lama nelpon pakai Hp. Kalau terpaksa ... yah harus pakai headset atau nyalain aja speaker phone-nya (asal tidak mengganggu orang di sekitar).
