From an analysis of peer-reviewed studies, the authors argue that children and adolescents are at considerable risk from devices that radiate microwaves (and that adults are at a lower, but still significant, risk). The following points were made:
*Children absorb a greater amount of microwave radiation than adults.
*Fetuses are even more vulnerable than children. Therefore pregnant women should avoid exposing their fetus to microwave radiation.
*Adolescent girls and women should not place cellphones in their bras or in hijabs (headscarf).
*Cellphone manual warnings make clear an overexposure problem exists.
*Government warnings have been issued but most of the public are unaware of such warnings.
*Current exposure limits are inadequate and should be revised.
*Wireless devices are radio transmitters, not toys. Selling toys that use them should be monitored more closely, or possibly even banned.
Children and fetuses absorb more microwave radiation, according to the authors, because their bodies are relatively smaller, their skulls are thinner, and their brain tissue is more absorbent...read more>>>...
