Children who use a mobile phone absorb a dangerous amount of microwave radiation that is up to ten times as high as in adult users and at least twice as high as the official safe limit. Compared to adults, children absorb twice as much radiation in their heads, three times as much in the brain regions around the hippocampus and the hypothalamus and ten times as much in the bone marrow.
The researchers who discovered this are connected to the American Environmental Health Trust, a social organization that now calls on the government to set a new standard for safe radiation doses. This should then be based on body size and take into account the fact that children also use mobile phones. According to the researchers, children are currently exposed to radiation doses that are twice as high as the safe upper limit set by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

Mobile phones cause changes in the brain, according to a new Finnish investigation. The researchers noticed that these changes - which may also affect concentration and memory - occur after 33 minutes of calling. The electromagnetic field of the telephone suppresses the conversion of glucose into the brain. This may mean that the brain cells are temporarily deprived of the sugar they need for their normal cognitive functions, such as concentration, learning and memory.
The research team, funded by the Finnish Institute of Technology, emphasizes that these findings do not yet provide evidence for any long-term effect from mobile phones, such as gliomas or other brain tumors. But their discovery that the changes occur after only 33 minutes, does sweep the floor with previous research that suggested that brain function is only affected after years of regular mobile phone use.

Electromagnetic fields are created all around us by electricity, especially by mobile phones and wireless WIFI computers. Exposure to electromagnetic frequencies is the result of advancing technology, but it would not hurt to do more research on the long-term effects, so that protective measures could be taken.
A new scientific study from Greece has shown that the electromagnetic field (EMF) around mobile phones, cordless telephones and wireless WIFI computer equipment can change the proteins in the brains of laboratory animals.
The report entitled "Brain protein response following whole body exposure of mice to wireless or wireless DECT base radiation" or "proteins in the brain of mice respond to exposure to mobile phones or wireless DECT technology" has been published in the magazine " Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine ".
Important parts of the brain such as hippocampus, cerebellum (or small brains) and frontal lobe are responsible for learning and memory. These appear to be adversely affected, even though this is insufficiently proven by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection and falls within the international guidelines for exposure to these waves.
Scientists have discovered that 143 proteins in the brain, after exposure to 8 months of three hours of mobile phone simulation per day, reduced neural functions.
Scientifically, biological effects have already been established for acute exposure to low microwaves of mobile phones, depending on the distance from the antenna to the head. This new study focuses more on the possible long-term effects, especially on the proteins of the brain.
This appears to be evidence for the possible relationship between electromagnetic fields and Alzheimer's disease, headache, dizziness, sleep problems and tumors.
A Russian study has found evidence for the association of mobile phone use and the decline of cognitive functions in children.
Several countries are trying to implement protocols to prevent the adverse effects of mobile phone use.
In 2011, the World Health Organization published a report examining the relationship between ELF magnetic fields and cancers in children and adults. The WHO Task Force concluded that mobile phones were in the same category as lead, chloroform and exhaust fumes.
