Laura birks .et al (2017)conducted research study at Denmark on Maternal cell phone use during
pregnancy and child behavioral problems in five birth. Child behavioral problems analyzed with child
behavior checklist reported by the mothers and classified in the borderline/clinical and clinical ranges

free equipment during usage , use of phones for other applications, the specific absorption rate (SAR)
reported by the manufacturer .on the basis of statistical analysis they are concluded that use of mobile
phones may be related to the early spontaneous abortions.
