📡 Electrosmog in the home – a quiet guest at breakfast, study and sleep
Although electromagnetic radiation can’t be seen or heard, it’s everywhere Wi-Fi, phones, laptops and smart TVs go. More and more children spend their days in an environment saturated with microwave waves. In the morning – tablet stories. At noon – e-classes. In the evening – bedtime podcasts.
🔺 Does the body even have time to rest?
🧠 A child’s brain absorbs more
A child’s skull is thinner and the brain is more hydrated and conductive. This makes the absorption of electromagnetic waves by children’s brain structures up to several times greater than in adults(Bortkiewicz, 2022). In the long term, this can lead to:
- 📉 short-term memory disorders,
- 😵💫 frequent headaches,
- 🛌 Difficulty falling asleep and quality of sleep.
📴 Evening tranquility is not a luxury
🕒 A minimum of 30 minutes without screens, router, phone and smartwatch before bed – this is one of the simplest recommendations for a healthy nervous system. Especially for children, whose sleep is a time of intensive recovery of the immune and nervous systems.

📞 Cell phones and long calls = real consequences
Studies show that as little as 30 minutes of daily cell phone conversation can occur:
- 🧠 headaches,
- ❗ concentration and association disorders,
- 💡 “cognitive fog” (brain fog).
Unfortunately, children – even if they are not yet talking on the phone – often have it with them, under their pillow, in their pocket or backpack. Modern advertisements don’t help – they present the devices as “sleep companions” or education.
🚸 Cancer, children and research not yet available
📊 Previous studies have linked long-term phone use to the occurrence of certain cancers in adults. For children, there is no such data yet – and that’s why the danger may be greater than it seems.
🔬 The MOBI-Kids project, an international study to test the effects of electromagnetic fields on the development of brain tumors in children and teenagers, is underway. The results are yet to come.
🏫 PEM-free schools – is it possible?
📚 Some countries, like France, have banned cell phones in elementary schools. But… Wi-Fi remains on. The problem lies deeper than just the “device.”
✅ PEM-free school initiatives are emerging in Poland:
- Students do not use phones,
- Wi-Fi is turned off outside of school hours,
- Classes are screened or alternative transportation solutions are used.
🌿 Time for informed choices
📍 Electrosmog won’t disappear – but we can limit exposure, especially in places where the body is supposed to regenerate: at night, while studying, while relaxing.
💡 It can also be supported by consciously implementing electromagnetically neutral zones, such as by turning off appliances, using shielding, or using magnetorelaxation rituals in sensitive regions such as the head, neck, solar plexus or kidney area.

Why should parents be wary of the effects of electrosmog on children?
Prof. Alicia Bortkiewicz: Electromagnetic radiation is not inert, although it is actually unnoticeable and can therefore be ignored by many people. On the other hand, it works, especially it is believed to work on children. Children have a smaller head and thinner skull than adults, their brain tissue has a higher conductivity, which is associated with greater absorption of radiation compared to adults.
Before going to bed, everyone (especially children) should be at least half an hour free from all electromagnetic stimuli. It is also very necessary to pay attention to ensure that there are no routers in the room where you are, especially where you will be sleeping. We did a study of the effect of routers on sleep patterns, and while no drastic changes were detected, we nevertheless observed some disturbances in blood pressure regulation, and this was, after all, a one-time exposure. We don’t know what the consequence of multi-year exposure is, because there are virtually no such studies.
It has been proven in a number of studies (admittedly, in children, unfortunately, there have been no such studies, but it has been proven in adults) that the duration of exposure to electromagnetic fields associated with, for example, talking on a cell phone, correlates very significantly with the ailments that occur. Studies show that once the 30-minute talk is exceeded, the effect is more severe: these include headaches, impaired fresh memory, which impinges on the ability to remember new things. In addition, sleep disturbances occur. I always tell this in my lectures – there was a commercial on TV not so long ago “read fairy tales to your children” and a child was shown lying in a crib, a cell phone laid by his head, from which this fairy tale is transmitted. Fortunately, this advertisement quickly disappeared. These are absolutely unacceptable practices.
The same is true of cancer. Tumors have so far been studied mainly in adults. Why? That’s because the time between the start of exposure (e.g., starting to use a cell phone regularly) and its effect, which is cancer, is sometimes 20 years. In children, there is no such long exposure time, but on the other hand, we do not know whether the progression is faster in children. A multi-center research project on cancers associated with cell phone use in children (MOBI-kids) will perhaps clarify this. We are beginning to talk about this threat, but parents are still not aware of it. Yes there is a group of very conscious parents, there are schools free of PEM exposure. For example, in France there is already a regulation banning the use of cell phones in schools, but in turn there are Wi-Fi installations , and this too is electromagnetic radiation. There are many aspects that would have to be considered to protect children as much as possible from the influence of electromagnetic halves.
