According to two studies completed in France and Germany, small children absorb twice as much radiation when using cell phones as adults do, due to their small ears, and thinner skin and skulls.
The French report, completed for TELECOM ParisTech by Dr. Joe Wiart, found young children can have radiation exposures twice that of adults, possibly even higher.
The second study, conducted by Niels Kuster, director of the IT’IS Foundation, had the same results. Completed for the German Federal Office of Radiation Protection (BfS), the study concluded that children’s eyes and bone marrow received more exposure.
The studies' findings support a 1996 study by Prof. Om Gandhi at the University of Utah, which found that radiation penetrates the brain of a child 4.2 times faster than an adult brain, and a child's eye more than 12 times faster.
