Cell Phone Radiation and Children
Children are far more susceptible to the effects of cell phone radiation than adults. Kids skulls are much thinner so radiation can penetrate the brain easier when a cell phone is held up to the ear. This radiation is then absorbed by a larger area of the brain than an adult’s brain would.
