Babies in Homes with High Wireless Radiation Three Times More Likely to Have Developmental Delays
A new peer-reviewed study found that babies living in homes with high levels of wireless radiation — from Wi-Fi routers, cellphones, Bluetooth devices and nearby towers — were more than three times as likely to experience developmental delays compared with infants in lower-exposure homes.
The study of 105 infants in India showed that babies in high-exposure homes were:
-
3.6 times more likely to have problem-solving delays
-
2.7 times more likely to show fine motor delays
-
Nearly 3 times more likely to have social or emotional delays
Researchers noted that children’s brains absorb far more radiation than adults’ brains, making them especially vulnerable. High-exposure homes in the study measured 32.36 milliwatts per square metre (mW/m²) — far above what independent experts classify as safe.
What You Can Do
Parents can reduce risk by:
-
Turning off Wi-Fi at night
-
Using hard-wired internet when possible
-
Keeping phones and tablets away from children
-
Avoiding carrying phones on the body
“This should alert the public to a dire situation,” said Dr. Robert Brown of the Environmental Health Trust. “People need to wake up.”
