From what age can kids start using cell phones without getting any brain problems, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Radiofrequency: Cell phones are a source of radio frequency radiation, however at this time, there is lack of significant evidence to show that cell phones can lead to an increased risk to formation of brain tumors or any other health conditions. Many of the studies already done have biases or data that is not conclusive.
