Abstract

Abstract Overview

The study reviews the potential negative effects of radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF EMF) on the central nervous system of children and adolescents, highlighting their increasing exposure due to frequent use of mobile technologies.

Key Findings

• Primary focus is given to the central nervous system as a major target under the influence of RF EMF, particularly when mobile phones are held close to the head.
• Variety of modeling techniques discussed, including phantom and voxel models, finite difference method, distribution matrices, and Monte Carlo simulations.
• The study notices contradictory results in electroencephalography under RF EMF exposure, with a general decrease in alpha rhyme noted.
• Analysis of sensorimotor reactions and other cognitive indicators where negative changes were predominantly observed, especially in attention and memory of the subjects.

Conclusions

The findings suggest a need for comprehensive, long-term studies to more conclusively determine the health outcomes associated with RF EMF exposure, particularly as new technologies like 5G become more widespread.
