Mobile phone radiation can affect brain performance in young adults

The radiation emitted by mobile phones can have adverse effects on the development of specific regions of the brain

Scientists say that the excessive use of mobile phones accompanies an increase exposure to RF electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF). 19659003] Radiation is closest to the brain when mobile phones are placed near the head; The survey, conducted by the Swiss Institute of Tropical Health and Public Health (Swiss TPH), examined the relationship between RF-EMF exposure from wireless communication devices and performance. of memory in adolescents. [19659003] The study found that cumulative RF-EMF exposure of the brain from a mobile phone for a year can have a negative effect on the development of memory performance in the teens.

"This may suggest that RF-EMFs are responsible for the observed badociations," says Martin Röösli, director of environmental exposures and health at Swiss TPH

. Other aspects of the use of wireless communication, such as sending SMS, playing games or browsing the Internet to the brain and were not badociated with the development of memory performance.
