Description
Abstract
This paper reviewed possible health effects
from exposure to low levels of electromagnetic field
(EMF) in children, arising from electrical power sources
and mobile phones. Overall, the information about
effects on developmental processes and cognitive
functions is insufficient and further research on children
and adolescents is critically needed. New research
approaches are required focused on the effects on the
developmental processes of children exposed to
electromagnetic fields, using consistent protocols. When
the current data were considered in detail, it was noted
that children's unique vulnerabilities make them more
sensitive to EMFs emitted by electronics and wireless
devices, as compared to adults. Some experimental
research shows a neurological impact and exposure in
humans may lead to the cognitive and behavioral
impairments. Because of the proliferation of wireless
devices, public awareness of these dangers now is
important to safeguard children’s future healthy brain
development.
