Abstract :
The increasing use of handset by children has induced a public concern about possible children sensitivity to electromagnetic fields (EMF). This paper analyzes the radio frequency (RF) exposure induced by handset. It analyses the differences between the SAR induced in child head and adult heads. The study shows that, due to variability, the comparison between two head is not representative and needs statistical analysis.
