Recent decades have seen an enormous increase in the application of wireless communication, with consequent increase in human exposure to electromagnetic (EM) radiofrequency (RF) radiation fields ( 1, 2, 3). Several studies repeatedly confirmed thermal effect of RF field interaction with human tissue, but non-thermal effects remain dubious and unconfirmed. As highly controlled laboratory exposure experiments do not reflect real physical interaction between RF radiation fields with biological tissue, dosimetry methods, protocols, and instrumentation need constant improvement. Results from animal studies are rarely fully transferable to humans. Only a small portion of published research papers refers to the “real” health impact of Wi-Fi technologies on children, because they are simply not available. Our analysis includes over 100 in vitro, animal, epidemiological, and exposure assessment studies (of which 37 in vivo and 30 covering Wi-Fi technologies). An enormous increase in the application of wireless communication in recent decades has intensified research into consequent increase in human exposure to electromagnetic (EM) radiofrequency (RF) radiation fields and potential health effects, especially in school children and teenagers, and this paper gives a snap overview of current findings and recommendations of international expert bodies, with the emphasis on exposure from Wi-Fi technology indoor devices.
