"Increasing Numbers of Children Aged 5-19 Years with Memory Problems in Sweden and Norway"
"Discussion
The data presented here show very disturbing trend of a rapidly increasing number of children and teenagers consulting medical care for memory problems or diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment, in particular over the last ve to 14 years in Norway and Sweden. The increase cannot be explained by changed diagnostic criteria or reporting frequency.What changes in children’s environment and life style might have contributed to this worrying trend of impaired memory and cognitive functions? There are multiple reports, both from animal experimental studies and epidemiological studies on humans, showing that microwave RF radiation exposure negatively impacts memory and cognitive functions. The hippocampus in the brain is important for short and long term memory, learning, and spatial navigation [41,42]. Several animal studies have also reported damage to the hippocampus from exposure to
microwave RF radiation. Children’s exposure to microwave RF radiation from wireless technologies such as smart phones, base stations/antennas, Wi-Fi-routers, smart meters, and other wireless technologies that emit microwave RF radiation has also increased rapidly during the same time period as the increasing number of children with decline in memory and cognitive functions"
