Effect of mobile devices and other gadgets are known to negatively impact the child's growth. Pandemic has caused more and more usage of these devices due to online classes and other activities. It is largely knoen to affect sleep patterns.
Overall exposure of preadolescent children to electromagnetic fields emitted by mobile communication devices during the day is not associated with sleep disturbances, according to a study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), an institution supported by "la Caixa" Foundation.
The study findings, which have been published in Environmental Research, suggest that there may be an effect on sleep when exposure occurs during the evening. The use of mobile phones and other devices is one factor, and could be linked to mental stress, blue light exposure, and/or exposure to low levels of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) emitted by these devices.
