GOOD STUFF TO KNOW
FLU SEASON IS HERE
Health Canada urges kids to limit cell phone use For the first time, Health Canada is encouraging parents to limit their children’s use of cellphones to reduce their exposure to the radiofrequency energy emitted by the phones. In new guidelines issued Wednesday, October 5, the agency said it is actively “encouraging” parents of children under the age of 18 to limit their children’s exposure to cellphone radiation through the following steps: • Replace cell phone calls with text messages • Use “hands-free” devices • Limit the length of cellphone calls As for adults, Health Canada reminds them that they can take these measures too. The agency noted in its statement that the effects of cellphone radiation on kids remain largely unexplored and that the change in advice is subtle. The new recommendations stem from a decision by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, t h e c a n c e r a r m o f t h e Wo r l d Health Organization, to classify the radiation from cellphones as “possibly carcinogenic” to humans. For more information about the new guidelines, visit www.ctv.ca/health.
