[VIDEO] Is Wi-Fi Harming Your Children?

2^min

A debated study has urged parents to attempt to limit their offspring's exposure to Wi-Fi over fears it could harm their health.

The report, published in the Journal of Microscopy and Ultrastructure, claims that children absorb more radiation from a source than adults.

It warns fetuses are the most vulnerable of them all, and the study's authors say mothers should not carry mobile phones in their clothing.

'Children absorb more MWR than adults because their brain tissues are more absorbent, their skulls are thinner and their relative size is smaller,' the researchers wrote in their study, published last year.

Pediatric neurologist Dr. Maya Shetreat-Klein said, 'Pregnant women deserve to know that wireless radiation can have an effect on the developing brain.

The authors of the study looked at peer-reviewed cell phone exposure studies from 2009 to 2014, along with cell phone radiation data, government documents, manufacturers' manuals, and similar publications.

'They say exposure limits have stayed unchanged for 19 years, and that smartphone manufacturers specify the minimum distance from the body that their products must be kept so that legal limits for exposure to MWR are not surpassed.

For laptop computers and tablets, the minimum distance from the body is 20 cm.

Sources of RF/EMF include televisions, microwave ovens, cellphones, and Wi-Fi devices.
