InternationalCellPhoneRestrictions/AdvisoriesforChildren
(Ourchildrenandgrandchildrendeservethesameconcern.)
Forsourcescited,seefullreport:http://www.ehhi.org/reports/cellphones/
Belgium; February 26. 2013:
New requirements to limit the exposure to electromagnetic waves from cell phones:
1. To inform the cell phone user about the specific absorption rate (SAR) of different mobile phones.
Henceforth cell phone sellers will mention the SAR value of each phone model not only in sales but also in advertising.
2. Prohibition to sell the cell phones designed for children under 7
3. Total Advertising Ban on cell phones aimed at children younger than 14

Accordingtoa2011PewResearchreport,millionsofchildrenandyoung
peoplehavebecomeregularusersofcellphones,with66%ofallU.S.
childrenacquiringacellphonebeforetheageof7and87%ofteenssleeping
withthemonundertheirpillows.
Citizens could be better informed about the risks of mobile phone
useThere is sufficient evidence of risk to advise people, especially children,
not to place the handset against their heads: text messaging, or hands-free kits
lead to about ten times lower radiation levels, on average, than when the
phone is pressed to the head. Governments may also wish to label mobile
handsets as a possible carcinogen, in line with the IARC decision.
