The U.S. Surgeon General has issued a public health advisory warning of harms from excessive screen use in children, citing effects on development, mental health, and sleep. The UK-based EM Radiation Research Trust (RRT) highlights an omission: the advisory does not address children's physical exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields from wireless devices held close to the body.

"A whole-environment approach to children's digital wellbeing is urgently needed. Focusing only on screen behaviour is no longer sufficient in a world where childhood is increasingly shaped by continuous digital and wireless exposure across homes, schools, and public spaces."
