Resolution - The Russian National Committee on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (RNCNIRP)
ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS FROM MOBILE PHONES:
HEALTH EFFECT ON CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS
[Excerpt]
"Unfortunately, statistical data published in 2009 and 2010 by ROSSTAT and UNICEF show that, since 2000 there has been a steady growth in the incidence of childhood diseases identified by RNCNIRP as “possible diseases” from mobile phone use [19, 20].
Of particular concern is the morbidity increase among young people aged 15 to 19 years (it is very likely that most of them are mobile phone users for a long period of time).
Compared to 2009, the number of CNS disorders among 15 to 17 year-old has grown by 85%, the number of individuals with epilepsy or epileptic syndrome has grown by 36%, the number of “mental retardation” cases has grown by 11%, and the number of blood disorders and immune status disorders has grown by 82%.
In group of children aged less than 14 years there was a 64% growth in the number of blood disorders and immune status disorders, and 58% growth in nervous disorders.
The number of patients aged 15 to 17 years old having consultations and treatment due to CNS disorders has grown by 72%.
Because of this the RNCNIRP considers it important to conduct a scientific study to
determine whether the growth in morbidity resulted from EMF exposure from mobile
phone use or whether it was caused by other factors."
I find this "development" worrysome. We see these symptoms / illnesses in children/youngsters already in Finland, as well. I will meet RNCNIRP representatives in St Petersburg and will ask more.
History teaches us a lesson:
Everyone was affected by the radiation from cellphones, television, many appliances, and equipments we used daily. It can affect our health, and can cause many types of diseases.

Radiation is very dangerous especially to kids and pregnant women. It can affect how a kid grow. It can also cause some diseases or even cancer.
