Children's heads are most at danger from mobile phone radiation:

- Children’s heads absorb up to 50% more
mobile phone radiation than adults’ heads because their
ears and skulls are smaller and thinner
- When a five year old uses a mobile, the radiation
permeates 50% of the brain (on the side to which the phone is
being held). This figure reduces to 30% for ten year olds. In
adults only a small area around the ear is penetrated
The study by Utah (US) University’s Professor Om Ghandi
confirmed previous findings.
Om also questioned the validity of the current method of measuring
mobile phone emissions with so-called ‘phantom heads’.
These are adult size and sport large plastic ears. Om argued that
the head should reflect a child’s skull and that the ears
should be made of a material which more accurately reflects the
electromagnetic properties of children’s ears. He claimed
that, if this were done, many mobile phones currently meeting
safety standards would exceed them.
In the UK, by the year 2000 more than 56% of 7-16 year olds and
85% of 15-16 year olds owned a mobile phone.
