"In my view a pediatrician would be acting irresponsibly if he or she knew and understood the implications of the human and animal cancer data on cell phone radiation and did not offer precautionary advise to the parents of his or her patients." - Dr. Ronald Melnick - NTP Study Senior Scientist (1)(2)(3)

Banora Point High School Cell Phone and Smartwatch Policy to Support Student Learning
Santa Clara County Medical Association adopts best practices for screens in schools
Parent's - take steps NOW to protect your children from the harmful biological and health effects of non-ionizing radio frequency microwave radiation emitted from cell phones.
Follow these guidelines:
Never allow your child to put a cell phone in the mouth - it's not a toy.
Have your child use a landline instead of a cell phone.
Infants and toddlers should never use a cell phone.
If your child must use a cell phone, use a head set or speaker mode.
If your child must use a cell phone, keep the conversations to a minimum.
Never allow your child to put a cell phone in a pocket or hold it close to the body unless it is turned OFF or on Airplane mode.
In addition to RF wireless radiation, children are similarly vulnerable to harmful health effects caused by EMF's from home electrical wiring and overhead high voltage power lines which are linked to acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
The only way to know for sure whether or not your home, your child's bedroom, and your child's play space is EMF safe, both inside and outside the home, is to test the areas to determine what the actual EMF radiation levels are. It is important to test for all four EMF types: (1) AC electric fields, (2) AC magnetic fields, (3) RF Radio Frequency, (4) Dirty Electricity.

"I'm just surprised that our society including parliament, governments, health authorities, citizens, parents and more are so quickly willing to expose their kids to things that in laboratory experiments have been very detrimental to life." Dr. Olle Johannson (4)
“Children are not little adults and are disproportionately impacted by all environmental exposures, including cell phone radiation. Current FCC standards do not account for the unique vulnerability and use patterns specific to pregnant women and children. It is essential that any new standard for cell phones or other wireless devices be based on protecting the youngest and most vulnerable populations to ensure they are safeguarded throughout their lifetimes.”- American Academy of Pediatrics (5)
The CDC (Center for Disease Control) presented new findings of increasing rates of brain cancer, renal cancer, hepatic (liver) cancer, and thyroid cancer among individuals under 20 years old in the USA after analyzing 2001–2014 US National Cancer statistics tumor data from 48 states (covering 98% of the US population). These findings of increased nervous system cancer rates were presented at the 2018 American Society of Pediatric Hematology Oncology Conference in May, 2018 and also at the 67th Annual Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) Conference April 16–19, 2018.
