ICBE-EMF reports: The International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields, an independent consortium of scientists, has released a children's-health position statement on screen time, wireless radiation and extremely low frequency non-ionizing EMF.
The commission argues that current FCC, ICNIRP and IEEE limits, unchanged for more than three decades, do not protect children, and sets out eight recommendations for governments and 12 EMF-mitigation steps for schools.
"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."
"Government safety limits do not protect children…These limits remain unchanged for over 3 decades, well before children began using cell phones and when much of today's technologies did not even exist."
"Studies have reported numerous adverse effects, including cancer, oxidative stress, genetic impacts, blood-brain barrier permeability, sperm damage, structural and functional changes of the reproductive system, impairments in cognition, learning and memory, sleep impacts, EEG alterations, and other neurological effects."
