WHY CHILDREN ABSORB MORE MICROWAVE RADIATION THAN ADULTS: THE CONSEQUENCES


Articolo da poco pubblicato (da autorevoli ricercatori) nel quale viene evidenziato come i bambini  assorbano microonde in quantità decisamente superiore in confronto agli adulti con possibili conseguenze a carico della salute che contemplano infertilità maschile, malattie neuro degenerative ( con particolare riferimento alla sclerosi multipla), neoplasie, disturbi neuro comportamentali.

HIGHLIGHTS
• Children absorb more microwave radiation (MWR) than adults.
• MWR is a Class 2B (possible) carcinogen.
• The fetus is in greater danger than children from exposure to MWR.
• The legal exposure limits have remained unchanged for decades.
• Cellphone manuals warnings and the 20 cm rule for tablets/laptops violate the “normal operating position” regulation.

ABSTRACT
Computer simulation using MRI scans of children is the only possible way to determine the microwave radiation (MWR) absorbed in specific tissues in children. Children absorb more MWR than adults because their brain tissues are more absorbent, their skulls are thinner and their relative size is smaller. MWR from wireless devices has been declared a possible human carcinogen. Children are at greater risk than adults when exposed to any carcinogen. Because the average latency time between first exposure and diagnosis of a tumor can be decades, tumors induced in children may not be diagnosed until well into adulthood. The fetus is particularly vulnerable to MWR. MWR exposure can result in degeneration of the protective myelin sheath that surrounds brain neurons. MWR-emitting toys are being sold for use by young infants and toddlers. Digital dementia has been reported in school age children. A case study has shown when cellphones are placed in teenage girls’ bras multiple primary breast cancer develop beneath where the phones are placed. MWR exposure limits have remained unchanged for 19 years. All manufacturers of smartphones have warnings which describe the minimum distance at which phone must be kept away from users in order to not exceed the present legal limits for exposure to MWR. The exposure limit for laptop computers and tablets is set when devices are tested 20 cm away from the body. Belgium, France, India and other technologically sophisticated governments are passing laws and/or issuing warnings about children's use of wireless devices.

5. Conclusions
The risk to children and adolescent from exposure to microwave radiating devices is considerable. Adults have a smaller but very real risk, as well.

(1)
Children absorb greater amount of microwave radiation (MWR) than adults;
(2)
MWR is a Class 2B (possible) carcinogen as is carbon black, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, DDT, lead, nickel, phenobarbital, styrene, diesel fuel, and gasoline. It seems clear that we would not expose children to these other agents, so why would we expose children to microwave radiation?
(3)
Fetuses are even more vulnerable than children. Therefore pregnant women should avoid exposing their fetus to microwave radiation.
(4)
Adolescent girls and women should not place cellphones in their bras or in hijabs.
(5)
Cellphone manual warnings make clear an overexposure problem exists.
(6)
Wireless devices are radio transmitters, not toys. Selling toys that use them should be banned.
(7)
Government warnings have been issued but most of the public are unaware of such warnings.
(8)
Exposure limits are inadequate and should be revised such that they are adequate
