More than ten per cent of children exposed to mobile phones in the womb had mothers who talked on mobile no less than four times a day.
The results of the studies had demonstrated that cell phone usage was linked to behavioral problems at age of seven. The social aspects like mother paying more attention to mobiles than their children were partially to blame. They are worries that early exposure to cell phone could bring a risk, stated researcher Dr Leeka Kheifets.
