Abstract

Overview

The Mobi-Expo study investigates RF fields exposure from mobile devices among youth, exploring how phone usage impacts different demographics globally.

Key Findings

• Phone usage varies by gender, age, and socioeconomic status.
• Significant variances in call number and duration across countries.
• Data and Wi-Fi usage have increased over time, with differences noted by age groups.

Health Implications

This study provides critical data for future research on the health effects of RF exposure from cellular phones in young people. Such exposure, linked to various health concerns, underscores the need for strategies to minimize risks.

Conclusion

The findings serve as a foundation for designing both epidemiological studies and strategies to reduce RF exposure and protect youth health, emphasizing the link between frequent cellular use and potential health risks.
