Wi-Fi Devices Are More Dangerous for Children

Most parents may be very concerned if their children are exposed to excessive lead, chloroform, gasoline smell or pesticides, as these and 250 other substances are listed as group 2B carcinogens by the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer. Radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) are also among them. The main sources of radio frequency electromagnetic fields are radios, televisions, microwave ovens, cell phones and Wi-Fi devices.


Obviously, these devices and the radio frequency electromagnetic fields they generate are very common in our modern society. Even if we wanted to, we couldn't avoid them entirely. But we need to minimize exposure to RF electromagnetic fields. This is the conclusion of a recent investigative article in the Journal of Microscopy and Ultrastructure, as children are more likely to absorb microwave radiation than adults.


Other studies and analyses have also shown that children and teens are more at risk from exposure to microwaves emitted by Wi-Fi devices. Reasons include:

1. Children absorb a higher number of microwaves than adults.

2. The fetus is more susceptible to microwave damage than children, so pregnant women should try their best to protect the fetus from microwave radiation.

3. Adolescent girls and women should not put cell phones in their chests or headscarves.

4. The mobile phone manual has clearly warned that there is a problem of overexposure to the microwave radiation environment.

5. The government has issued relevant warnings, but most of the public is still unaware.

6. The current microwave radiation exposure limit is inappropriate and should be revised.

7. Wireless devices are radio transmitters, including toys. To this end, the sale of toys using wireless technology should be closely watched.

8. Children and fetuses absorb more microwave radiation because their bodies are relatively small, their skulls are thinner, and their brain tissue absorbs microwave radiation more easily.


In addition, many studies are looking at the link between exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields and different types of cancer, lower sperm viability, and other diseases. However, it is worth noting that there are many limitations to this type of research. For example, exposure to carcinogens requires more than 30 years.


Of course, not all electronic devices generate RF electromagnetic fields. But at least the level of safety of Wi-Fi devices should be divided into two categories: adults and children, and we hope that more long-term research will confirm the current conclusions. At the same time, are the government's current regulatory rules enough? The exposure limit levels they warn do not appear to have been revised in 19 years.
