Excessive use of mobile phones can lead to processes of premature aging of the brain in a whole generation of young people, warn Swedish scientists. According to the British newspaper The Independent, the relevant study was conducted by scientists from the University of Lund under the leadership of Professor Leif Salford.

The work, funded by the Swedish Council for Research in the Natural Sciences, showed that exposure to microwaves emitted by mobile phones during operation leads to damage to the barrier between the bloodstream and the brain cells (neurons). As a result, the albumin blood protein is deposited near neurons and causes damage to them, comparable to damage to neurons during aging. Professor Salford said that the long-term effect of microwaves on the brain is not yet fully understood, and perhaps neurons can recover to a certain extent, but the very fact of their damage at a young age is alarming.

Previously, researchers focused on the possible carcinogenic effect of mobile phone radiation and on brain warming processes in the course of their work. However, the carcinogenic effect was not proven, and the heating was minimal.

Further studies were blocked under the pressure of the lobby of mobile phone manufacturers. A study of Swedish scientists was conducted for 15 years. Leif Salford said that the voluntary use of mobile phones by people who subject the brain to microwave radiation is "the largest biological experiment in human history". At the same time, Leif Salford said that he does not oppose the use of mobile phones, which under certain circumstances can save human lives medicus. En.
