Limiting RF-EMF Exposure in Children
When Proteck'd EMF Clothing is younger than 10 years old, you might be concerned about their exposure radiation. If so, keep reading to learn more about the dangers and advantages of limiting your child's exposure RF radiation. It's important to keep your children's health at the forefront, and a couple of lifestyle changes could go a long way.

Exposure to radiofrequency (RF) in children
The Dutch ABCD Study and the Spanish INMA Project included two populations of children as well as their families. The study populations collected information regarding the use of screens devices and calculated the total RF-EMF exposures. The exposure levels were calculated by a combination exposure algorithm that takes into account the various factors that can affect the exposure of a child. The participants also completed tested for cognitive validity to determine verbal and non-verbal IQ as well as attention, working memory and task switching and cold executive function visuomotor coordination and processing speed.

The study measured the environmental RF-EMF exposure of 529 children from five European countries. The exposure levels measured in the children ranged from 87.5 MHz up to six GHz. Children wore small, portable "experimenters" that monitored their exposures while playing outside as well as using handheld devices. They were also asked to complete questionnaires and activity diaries to track how long they were on their handheld devices.

Overall exposure to RF-EMF was very low, ranging from 0.13 percent to 0.92 percent in the range of ICNIRP's reference levels per second. Participants in the study were less likely to be using cellphones than the average adult, a majority using them at a minimum of five minutes during the afternoon hours.

The FCC set limits on the RF radiation levels that children must be exposed to in daily life. However, this limit was established 25 years ago. As such, the FCC should take into consideration recent research findings and modify its limits to ensure children's health. The limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) must be lower than Federal limits of 0.4 mW/kg.


Children's exposure to RFs is largely determined by the abdomen and torso. It is recommended that the ICNIRP guidelines should specify the limits of exposure for different parts of the body that children. They should also publish an appropriate safety margin for each zone. This is not the only data that should be included in the study.
