Abstract
Are cell phones so harmful that a cautious approach of risk management especially in relation to children should be taken? Are the brains of children more susceptible to the radio frequency (RF) fields emitted by cell phones than those of adults? Some fear any disturbance to brain activity in children could lead to impaired learning ability or behavioral problems. Moreover, any lasting biochemical effects could have important consequences, especially in the young who still have years of development ahead of them. This paper report the results of test conducted to young users of cellular mobile telephones.
