The controversial report, published in the Journal of Microscopy and Ultrastructure, claims that children absorb more radiation from a source than adults.
It explains: "Children absorb more MWR than adults because their brain tissues are more absorbent, their skulls are thinner and their relative size is smaller.
"MWR from wireless devices has been declared a possible human carcinogen.
"Children are at greater risk than adults when exposed to any carcinogen.
"Because the average latency time between first exposure and diagnosis of a tumour can be decades, tumours induced in children may not be diagnosed until well into adulthood."
It is not just children who are at risk; pregnant women have also been warned against using wi-fi and, in particular, against carrying mobile phones on them.
Paediatric neurologist Dr. Maya Shetreat-Klein said: "Pregnant women deserve to know that wireless radiation can have an impact on the developing brain.
"We're seeing alarming increases in the number of children diagnosed with neurological disorders over the past decade, and anything we can do that might help reduce that rate should be taken very seriously."
The study offers the following advice:
-
Pregnant women should avoid wireless exposures
-
Children should not play with wireless toys
-
Adolescent girls and women should not place cellphones in their bras or in hijabs
-
Government exposure limits need to be urgently revised.
