Effects of mobile phones on Children's health
Children are not fully-grown yet, and they are just little adults, their minds and bodies make them very vulnerable to the hazards of the environment around them, including all types of radiations produced by mobile phones, iPads, tablets, smartphones and all other kinds of devices. In the new era, the children are exposed to dangerous technology at younger ages than ever before. There are different types of radiations generated by mobile phones and wireless devices, microwave radiations, ionizing and non-ionizing radiations. Ionizing radiations such as x-rays, radon, ultraviolet rays of sunlight all are high frequency, and high energy which are lethal to health. Non-ionizing radiations are low in frequency and energy. Cell phones have non-ionizing radiations. Mobile phones send radio-frequency waves from its transmitting unit or antenna to nearby cell phone towers. When we make or receive a call, send or receive text, or use data, our phone receives radio-frequency waves to its antenna from cell towers.
Microwave radiations from the cell phones and other wireless devices are very harmful, particularly for children and unborn babies. Many researches have proved that, such radiations pose a greater risk for bodily damage in children and unborn babies. The rate of microwave radiations absorption is higher in children than adults because their brain tissues are more absorbent, their skulls are thinner and lighter, and their relative size is smaller. Infants are particularly more vulnerable, because microwave radiations exposure can lead to degeneration of the protective shield that surrounds the brain neurons.
