Children under 10 have a higher absorption rate because their brains are still developing. For this reason, the electromagnetic energy the cell phone emits is likely to penetrate the brain of a child more deeply than that of an adult. All living tissue is vulnerable to these electromagnetic fields within the frequency bands used by cell phones.

Recommendations:

• Using headsets
• Use landlines and hands-free devices whenever possible.
• Keep your phone away from your body
• Using text messaging whenever possible
• Allow children to use a cell phone only for emergencies
• Avoid using a cell phone when the signal is weak or when moving

When the signal is weak or when moving at high speed the cell phone increases power to a maximum as the phone repeatedly searches for a new relay antenna.

Stats:

• Roughly 60 percent of American teenagers own a cell phone
• They spend an average of one hour a day talking on them
• 54 percent of 8 to12 year olds will have cell phones within the next three years.
