Protecting College and University Students

There is growing evidence that College and University Students are especially vulnerable to the bioeffects of wireless radiation.

Studies suggest that the wireless radiation has established cognitive and memory effects.

In addition, many students feel the need to keep their smart phones on for most of the day, often keeping them close to the body in clothing or near them at night. The rates of anxiety, depression, self-harm and suicide may reflect intensive use of wireless devices.
