We get many cases of parents complaining that their children lack concentration, get headache and have behavioral problems. This cannot be proved, though. A scientist with ICMR said exposure to radio frequency radiation has a thermal effects, caused by holding a phone close to the body, and also a non-thermal effect which can be attributed to the induced electromagnetic effects inside biological cells. The non-thermal effect is possibly more harmful. People who are chronically exposed to low level wireless antenna emissions and users of mobile phone handsets have reported feeling several unspecific symptoms.
