Exposure to low frequency and radiofrequency electromagnetic fields at low intensities poses a significant health hazard that has not been adequately addressed by national and international organizations such as the World Health Organization. There is strong evidence that excessive exposure to mobile phone-frequencies over long periods of time increases the risk of brain cancer both in humans and animals. The mechanism(s) responsible include induction of reactive oxygen species, gene expression alteration and DNA damage through both epigenetic and genetic processes. In vivo and in vitro studies demonstrate adverse effects on male and female reproduction, almost certainly due to generation of reactive oxygen species. There is increasing evidence the exposures can result in neurobehavioral decrements and that some individuals develop a syndrome of “electro-hypersensitivity” or “microwave illness”, which is one of several syndromes commonly categorized as “idiopathic environmental intolerance”. While the symptoms are non-specific, new biochemical indicators and imaging techniques allow diagnosis that excludes the symptoms as being only psychosomatic. Unfortunately standards set by most national and international bodies are not protective of human health. This is a particular concern in children, given the rapid expansion of use of wireless technologies, the greater susceptibility of the developing nervous system, the hyperconductivity of their brain tissue, the greater penetration of radiofrequency radiation relative to head size and their potential for a longer lifetime exposure.

暴露于低强度的低频和射频电磁场会构成严重的健康危害，世界卫生组织等国家和国际组织尚未充分解决。有充分的证据表明，长时间过度暴露于手机频率会增加人和动物患脑癌的风险。负责的机制包括通过表观遗传和遗传过程诱导活性氧，基因表达改变和DNA损伤。体内和体外研究表明，对男性和女性生殖的不利影响几乎可以肯定是由于活性氧的产生。越来越多的证据表明，暴露可能导致神经行为减少，并且一些人发展为“电超敏”或“微波疾病”综合征，这是通常归类为“特发性环境不耐受”的几种综合征之一。尽管症状是非特异性的，但新的生化指标和成像技术可以进行诊断，将症状排除为仅仅是心身疾病。不幸的是，大多数国家和国际机构制定的标准并不能保护人类健康。鉴于无线技术的迅速普及，神经系统的易感性，这是儿童特别关注的问题，
