Prof. Lennart Hardell and Mona Nilsson publish urgent op-ed in Sweden's largest newspaper, citing 60 studies on cognitive effects and demanding government action. They criticize SSM for remaining 'passive' as children's memory and sleep problems surge.

"The concerning increase in sleep problems and memory problems has occurred in parallel with the increase in children's and young people's mobile use and the sharply increasing exposure to radiation from mobiles, WiFi and cell towers."

— Lennart Hardell & Mona Nilsson

"At the same time as the increasing evidence of harmful effects and the increasing ill-health figures, the responsible authority Strålsäkerhetsmyndigheten (SSM) remains passive."

— Lennart Hardell & Mona Nilsson

"SSM claims that any health risks below the authority's reference values 'either do not exist or are so weak that they could not be established.' SSM also claims that only 'some' studies have shown harmful effects on cognitive ability, without stating what 'some' means. But the research has clarified harmful memory effects in about 60 individual studies."

— Lennart Hardell & Mona Nilsson

"Children's brains are extra sensitive to influence during development and harmful effects on the brain in young years can have lifelong consequences."

— Lennart Hardell & Mona Nilsson
