The National Library of Medicine provides information about the effects of radio-frequency radiation on children and adults. According to studies conducted, children have higher risk of cancer from exposure to cell phones due to their thin, developing bones. It is important to protect children from radio-frequency radiation in order to reduce their exposure to carcinogens and prevent health issues later in life. Although researchers have been studying the risks associated with radio frequency radiation since the use of radar in WWII, there is growing concern for future generations due to new technology.

The Journal of Biomedical Physics and Engineering discusses new studies and theories about how 5G RF are carcinogens. Because 5G is new technology, there have been few studies conducted on its effects on humans. Although there have been few studies, researchers have concluded that 5G proposes new risk of skin and brain cancer in adults and children.

The American Cancer Society defines RF radiation and discusses the risks associated, using research from studies in humans and real-life exposure. We are exposed to RF radiation everyday when we use our cell phones, pass cell towers, and simply use our microwaves. Although we cannot eliminate it, we can reduce our exposure by blocking RF radiation from our cell phones and devices at home.

The Federal Communications Commission provides an overview of RF radiation and safety guidelines outlined by the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements. The FCC also identifies studies that have shown that mobile devices interfere with medical devices such as pacemakers. Limiting exposure to RF radiation is crucial to preventing medical device malfunctions, and medical issues.

T. Neil Davis at The University of Alaska discusses the effects of RF radiation and the safety precautions taken in European countries.
