Abstract

An overview of the epidemiological and experimental evidence for exposure of humans and animals to electromagnetic radiation produced by mobile phones is provided. The effects of mobile phone radiation on the child's body are considered in detail. It has been shown that the children's organism is more sensitive to this kind of exposure than the adult one.
