Children's Health Defense reports on scientists' statement urging schools to cut kids' EMF exposure
"The consortium of scientists and doctors issued a 23-page statement, which cited over 100 published scientific studies documenting how EMFs at levels currently allowed by the FCC can harm human health. Children are especially vulnerable, the group said."
"Wireless radiation emitted when a child holds or watches a wireless device contributes to these conditions, according to ICBE-EMF."
"Children can be more vulnerable than adults to the health impacts of wireless radiation because it penetrates deeper and has higher absorption rates in regions of a child's brain, and because their still-developing brains and physiological systems are more sensitive to environmental toxicants."
"reconsider our children's engagement with technology and start moving towards getting children off screens at home and in schools."
"Children have the right to grow, learn, and thrive in environments free from avoidable health hazards. … The technologies shaping our future should not compromise the health of the next generation,"
