Concerns Over EMF Safety Standards

Current safety standards for electromagnetic fields (EMFs) primarily focus on short-term exposures and are based on adult biology, leading to concerns about their applicability for children. The existing safety studies have been criticized as inadequate, raising questions about the long-term effects of technology use, especially among younger populations. Experts emphasize that while standards are set for adults, children's developing bodies and brains may be more susceptible to potential harm. The lack of rigorous standards and research specific to children highlights the urgent need for reassessment in light of growing technology usage among minors.
