Abstract
Are children more vulnerable to the microwave radiation from cellular mobile telephones? It is an open question. The paucity of laboratory results should make anyone hesitate in making definitive remarks on the health and safety of mobile-phone radiation on children. On the other hand, there have been plenty of computational studies on deposition of mobile-phone radiation or the specific absorption rate (SAR) in head models of youngsters and adults.
