Children's typical EMF exposure measured less than 0.03% of safety limits, but current guidelines don't address long-term biological effects.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers measured EMF exposure in 21 children under 17 using portable devices worn for over 2,400 hours total. They found average exposures were very low compared to safety guidelines - less than 0.03% for power line frequencies and less than 0.001% for wireless signals like WiFi and cell towers. Even the highest exposures recorded were still well below 1% of current safety limits.
