View Original AbstractChildren and adults absorb similar radiation levels from walkie-talkies despite age-related tissue changes, but this doesn't address other childhood vulnerabilities.
Plain English Summary
Researchers measured how tissue properties change with age in pigs and used this data to calculate radiation absorption (SAR) in children using walkie-talkies. They found that while tissue properties do change significantly with age - mainly due to decreasing water content - these changes don't meaningfully affect how much radiation children absorb compared to adults when using walkie-talkie devices.
Study Details
In vitro dielectric properties of ageing porcine tissues were measured in the frequency range of 50 MHz-20 GHz, and the total combined uncertainties of the measurements were assessed.
The results show statistically significant reduction with age in both permittivity and conductivity...
