tells us that the current safety guidelines allow us to be exposed to EMF levels that are
something like 7.2 milion times too high. That sensitivity is predicted by the physics.
Therefore, the physics and the biology are each pointing to the same mechanism of action of
non-thermal EMFs. The different effects produced are obviously very deep concerns. They
become much deeper and become existential threats when one considers that several of these
effects are both cumulative and eventually irreversible.

Obviously 4G and 5G will make the situation much worse.” (Emphasis added.)
1.2.2.4. Particulars regarding children and cancer or other health damages.
There exists a series of studies, some of which are mentioned above, which specifically refer to
health damage and risks of cancer or other adverse effects on children, such as:
Divan et al. (2012), ”Cell phone use and behavioural problems in young children,” 40 (p. 524
abstract):
”The findings of the previous publication were replicated in this separate group of participants
demonstrating that cell phone use was associated with behavioural problems at age 7 years in
children, and this association was not limited to early users of the technology. Although
weaker in the new dataset, even with further control for an extended set of potential
confounders, the associations remained.”
This investigation, which was a repetition of a previous investigation undertaken by the same
scientists, confirmed a connection between behavioural problems with children aged 7 and the
prenatal use of mobile phones by the mother as well as the children’s own use postnatally,
without it being possible to determine with certainty that there was a causal link, cf. p. 529.
The investigation thus confirmed a potential risk.

Birks et al (2017), ”Maternal cell phone use during pregnancy and child behavioral problems
in five birth cohorts” 41 , p. 1 (abstract, script version):
”Overall, 38.8% of mothers, mostly from the Danish cohort, reported no cell phone use during
pregnancy and these mothers were less likely to have a child with overall behavioral,
hyperactivity/inattention or emotional problems. Evidence for a trend of increasing risk of child
behavioral problems through the maternal cell phone use categories was observed for
hyperactivity/inattention problems (OR for problems in the clinical range: 1.11, 95%CI 1.01,
1.22; 1.28, 95%CI 1.12, 1.48, among children of medium and high users, respectively). This
association was fairly consistent across cohorts and between cohorts with retrospectively and
prospectively collected cell phone use data.” (Emphasis added.)
Ibid. (p. 13 conclusion, script version):
”Maternal cell phone use during pregnancy may be associated with an increased risk of
behavioral problems, particularly hyperactivity/inattention problems, in the offspring. This is
the largest study to date to evaluate these associations and to show mostly consistent results
across cohorts with retrospectively and prospectively assessed maternal cell phone use. Still,
the interpretation of these results is unclear and should take into consideration that
uncontrolled confounding by social factors or maternal hyperactivity may influence both
