Our most precious resource, our nation’s children are exposed to a risk that no one seems to notice: cell phone radiation. While scientists around the world are pressuring their local governments to restrict the use of cell phones by children, the U.S. does nothing. Go to any mall, movie theater, or school and you’ll see young masses all with one ear to the newest cell phones on the market. The brain of a child is constantly developing, undergoing changes and obtaining more information in a few short years at a rate that won’t be matched for the rest of their lives. Add to this the radiation from cell phone exposure through the inner ear and it creates a laboratory with unknown consequences. Studies over the last five years have shown that the rate at which children develop autism is concurrent with increased cell phone use. The studies also suggest the electromagnetic radiation from wireless devices (like cell phones) in conjunction with environmental and genetic factors all increase the incidence of autism.
