If its compulsory to give children such devices for learning purposes, it should be given after putting it on airplane mode so that it shouldn’t be sending and receiving signals which it does other wise.

Now a days almost seven billion mobile phones are in use. All of them are tested on 20 years old standards. These standards are based on the amount of radiation absorbed by a 220 lb (99.8 kg) male who only talks on his phone for a six minute period. That doesn’t represent the exposure that most people, especially young children, would be receiving.

Mobile phone radiation is highly injurious for membranes of the cell and 3G mobile phone radiation is more toxic than radiation from 2G phones. Computer modelling shows that mobile phone radiation penetrates almost all the way through the head of a three-year-old. It is much further than it does in an adult’s head, and it’s absorbed by the foetus.

How to Minimize Mobile Phone Exposure?
