Most of us own a phone of some kind. and according to research by the EWG over 40% of children under 8 have their own tablet!
Yet, we still don’t have a definitive answer on how the radiation emitted by these devices impacts our health. Most of the studies carried out focused on 3G technology, but now 4G and 5G devices are sold every day. A few years back, California officially issued guidelines advising phone users to keep phones away from their bodies. These guidelines were based on studies that link phone radiation to serious health risks such as damage to children’s brain development, lower sperm counts in men, tumours, negative effects on general learning, memory and sleep.
Another landmark study from the Ramazzini Institute confirmed the National Toxicology Program’s results and found tumours in lab animals exposed to radio-frequency radiation. The burning question is: Should we be concerned about the potential impacts of phone radiation on our health and that of our children?
