Super magnets are responsible for increasing child health risks
According to a new research presented at American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) National Conference and Exhibition in Orlando, it suggested that the availability of powerful, neodymium magnets that is around 10 to 20 times stronger than the normal traditional magnets, these are found responsible to increase in pediatric ingestion. These super magnets were first used in toys, jewelry and other times came into being since year 2000. Further in the year 2012 it was banned in U.S. due to its bad effects. Though banned in U.S. it is still used in other countries. The study shows that these magnets used in day to day things could harm the kid’s health.
The co-author of the study Daniel Rosenfield, MD explains, “The research we're presenting at the AAP conference confirms what we've suspected that the ingestion of these dangerous toys has been increasing, and spiking over the past three years. What we're seeing is really an epidemic driven by a new technology.”
