Excess blue light from phones, tablets may accelerate ageing: Study - Video
Overview
Excessive blue light emitted by devices such as smartphones, computers and tablets may accelerate the ageing process of the body, according to a study conducted in fruit flies.
Previously, studies have linked too much screen use to disorders such as obesity and psychological problems.
"Excessive exposure to blue light from everyday devices, such as TVs, laptops, and phones, may have detrimental effects on a wide range of cells in our body, from skin and fat cells, to sensory neurons," said Jadwiga Giebultowicz, a professor at Oregon State University, US, and senior author of the study.
