Which parents don’t know this lament from their offspring? For most of them, the smartphone is already at the top of the wish list in elementary school. But does it actually make sense?
Is cell phone radiation dangerous for children?
- Whether electromagnetic radiation is dangerous for children and people in general has been the subject of heated debate for years.
- Some environmental health experts believe that electromagnetic radiation penetrates much deeper into children’s heads than into those of adults, which is why the possible effects of cell phone radiation could be even greater than assumed. However, there are no long-term studies on this, as mobile phone technology, and 5G technology in particular, is still too young.
- According to a study, under-6s who use digital media too frequently often have language development disorders, tend to be hyperactive and have difficulty concentrating.
- According to the same study, children between the ages of 8 and 13 who regularly use digital media for several hours and do too little exercise often suffer from concentration problems and hyperactivity. They eat sweets more often and are often overweight.
What do experts advise regarding the use of smartphones by children?
Experts advocate delaying smartphone use for as long as possible. Young children should not use cell phones or tablets at all. This is because the exact health consequences are not yet foreseeable.
Is the concentration of electrosmog continuing to rise?
The concentration of electrosmog is also increasing in our homes. Multiple smartphones, laptops, computers, smart home systems and all kinds of household appliances produce e-smog non-stop. Even if you switch off your own Wi-Fi when you don’t need it, you are still surrounded by a dense network of electromagnetic radiation. Because they don’t stop at your own front door. Mobile phone radiation penetrates through windows, doors and walls. As soon as there is Wi-Fi in a neighboring apartment, you will most likely automatically receive a dose of electromagnetic radiation.
