Phone: NOT at School

It is not holding a cell phone to school just banned by the Senate, but its use by children. In other words, it is not a disciplinary decision or educational, but a precautionary measure vis-à-vis our children’s exposure to radio frequency emitted by mobile phones.

Prohibits use of mobile kindergarten, elementary and college

In the framework of implementing the Grenelle of the environment 2, the Senate just voted to ban mobile phone use in kindergartens, primary schools and colleges.

This decision is finally realizing one of the recommendations made in June 2008 at the call of 20 ‘. Concerned about the potential danger to health may represent the waves emitted by mobile phones, twenty experts, gathered around David Servan-Schreiber, whose prominent cardiologists French or foreign, and Dr. Philippe Presles, Director of Writing e-health. fr, had issued a charter for prevention. The first of 10 recommendations advised not to allow children under 12 to use a cell phone except in an emergency because the developing organs are more sensitive to electromagnetic waves.

The Senate vote fits into a precautionary approach, imposed by the lack of scientific certainty about the health effects of exposure to radio frequencies emitted by mobile phone.
Experts state that ‘the attitude of caution is justified doubling against children, susceptible population to be exposed in addition to very long periods’.

Prevention and proper use of portable

As a precaution, here are some additional tips to protect our children:
Ask them to use headphones so they do not apply the mobile phone on their ear.
Tell them not to call by walking, car or bus, but to stand still. In this way, the antenna of the phone does not find its way to the nearest antenna.
It is better that they communicate via SMS rather than by telephone.
Finally, ask them to reduce the duration of their calls on cell phone and use preferably the phone.
