Differences in RF energy absorption in the heads of adults and children.
Christ A, Kuster N. · 2005
View Original AbstractChildren don't necessarily absorb more cell phone radiation than adults despite smaller heads, but tissue differences remain poorly understood.
Plain English Summary
Researchers reviewed how radiofrequency energy from cell phones is absorbed differently in children's heads versus adults' heads. Contrary to earlier assumptions, they found that children don't necessarily absorb more RF energy than adults despite having smaller heads. The study identified that factors like tissue properties and ear structure still need more research to fully understand exposure differences.
Study Details
The aim of this study is to investigate Differences in RF energy absorption in the heads of adults and children.
This study intends to give a comprehensive review of the current state of knowledge about the parame...
Discussed are the absorption mechanism, tissue parameters, the effect of the pinna, and the uncertai...
The conclusions of the review do not support the assumption that the energy exposure increases due to smaller heads, but identifies open issues regarding the dielectric tissue parameters and the thickness of the pinna.
