New Study Finds That Children Really Do Absorb More Radiation

A new Brazilian study has found that children absorb more radiation at widely used mobile phone frequencies. Using realistic models of the head, it was found that the SAR of a phone are typically more than 60% higher than reported when being used by a 10 year old.

This means that phones with SAR values close to guideline limits will be exceeding these limits if used by a young child, which has interesting legal implications - but most importantly it means that your children using cell-phone are at increased risk. Studies have shown that risks increase with long term-use.

Here's an alarming chart showing the Electromagnetic absorption in the head of adults and children when using a mobile phone close to the head.

Studies show a 10-year old child absorbs higher than 60% of the absorption rate for adults.

According to this chart, on a 5 year-old the radio wave from the phone penetrates almost through their entire brain.

Your Children's exposure is much greater than yours, and by the time they are adults, many of them will already have used their phones for 20 years, studies are showing that usage over ten-years greatly increases risk...we have no idea what the ramifications are of usage almost from birth. Are you willing to risk your children?
