Abstract

Rapid development of mobile communications changed the terms of public exposure fundamentally in recent years and has become a major factor in shaping the conditions for the public exposure to radio waves. Population exposure with mobile phone electromagnetic fields is a new physical factor that has no analogues in the nature. The article reviews and analyzes the results of experimental, clinical and epidemiological studies of the brain reactions on irradiation of non-thermal electromagnetic field of radio frequency levels.

Key words: electromagnetic field, cell phone, children, adolescents, risk of exposure, immediate and long-term effects, recommendations
