Children & Pregnant Women’s Vulnerability
SafeTech NC prioritizes our education efforts to protect those who are most vulnerable to wireless radiation, particularly children and pregnant women. Our prioritization is based on more than 20,000 peer-reviewed studies.
Children’s Vulnerability
Peer-reviewed studies show that children’s skulls absorb twice the radiation of adults —and as much as ten times the radiation into their bone marrow. Their vulnerability is also due to their thinner skulls (which have a higher water content), developing nervous systems, and immature immune and reproductive organs.
Learning, Memory
Unfortunately, schools are where children are exposed to the most extreme levels of radiation, where they typically are immersed in high-powered Wi-Fi, with wireless devices close to their bodies. Ironically, radiation in schools puts children at greater risk for learning and memory problems.
Behavioral problems: Inattention and hyperactivity are a significant risk from maternal cell phone use during pregnancy, as found in this epidemiological study of nearly 84, 000 pairs of mothers and children found, then confirmed in this Yale University experimental study by Hugh Taylor, MD, Chair of Yale’s Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Services.
Dr Taylor is the immediate past president of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine. See his crucial guidance for pregnant women following the DC Circuit Court of Appeals ruling against the FCC in 2021. Dr Taylor advises, “Don’t wait for this to be worked out publicly. Take precautions now.”
A lifetime of cumulative exposure to wireless radiation is of deep concern to the 255 International EMF Scientists from 44 nations who have published on serious health effects, are not biased by conflicts of interest, and have appealed to the World Health Organization and its member nations for protective safety standards.
For Pregnant Women & Families Trying to Conceive
Independent science shows increased risk of infertility related to wireless radiation, both in men and woman. See this summary of studies on male infertility analyzed by the Environmental Health Trust.
For effects on female fertility, see this review article.
Effects on pregnancy, miscarriage, and challenges with child development as a result of prenatal exposure can be found in the article here.
More prenatal effects and effects on the fetus, can be found at the BabySafeProject.org.
