3. unprecedented increase in the use by
children of wireless communication systems
The last decade has seen
an unprecedented
increase in the use by
children of wireless
communication systems.
This strong growth has
highlighted the need to
assess the exposure of
children induced by these
radio-frequency (RF)
wireless systems.

4. Numerical dosimetry is today
able to handle complex configurations
Twenty years ago : simplistic models have to be used
Today: realistic models can be used

5. Exposure depends on morphology
The exposure induced by a system
emitting EMF depends on many
parameters such as frequency,
location and type of the sources but
also on dielectric properties of
biological tissues, morphology and T. Wu et al Phys. Med. Biol. (2011)
posture of the person exposed.
Exposed to the same incident field
strength smallest person seems to be
higher exposed
The child exposure analysis is an
important question since the power
absorbed depends on parameters (e.g. E. Conil et al 2008 Phys. Med. Biol. (2008)
morphology, usage) that are age
dependent.

6. Child exposure.
What is the child exposure and in
particular the head and organ still in
development?
Are ICNIRP Limit valid for Children?
Are methods and phantoms developed for
adult valid for children?

7. SAR and Children: a long story..
- From 1992 to 2005 more than 10 studies have been done but often with adult
head down sized.
- The model of head, the phone model, the position of the handset relative to the
head are sensitive parameters
- A children head is not a small adult head and the homogeneous down scaling
induces anatomical errors.

8. Correct Anatomical model is fundamental
to assess child exposure to mobile phone:
Since children MRI are difficult to obtain. Homogeneous
down scaling of adult model has been the first approach. But
a child is not a small adult. Proportion changes with age. 80%
Homogeneous down scaling induces anatomical errors.
Erroneous SAR results have been obtained with this uniform
down scaling approach.
Non uniform downscaling (morphing) has been developed
Useful for global analysis but to be used carefully : from 5 to 20 the
brain volume increase of about 10% but skull thickness is increase of
more than 70% while from 3 to 20 the skin thickness is increase of 60%

14. Influence of EM dielectric
properties.
Dielectric properties evolve with age
Gabriel Bioelectromagnetism 2005
Improvement of dielectric properties variation with age
A Peyman et al Phy. Med. biol. 2010
The impact of variation of dielectric data on dosimetry is not simple
Hurt et al 2000, Mason et al 2000, Gajšek et al 2001
Dependences of dielectric tissue properties do not lead to
systematic changes of the SAR. The exposure of the bone marrow
of children can exceed that of adults due to the strong decrease in
electric conductivity of this tissue with age.

16. Children exposure to mobile phone.
Current compliance tests are conservative.
The exposure of tissues or regions having similar distance to the phone
for adults and children have comparable exposure
Brain peripheral tissues close to the surface can have higher exposure in
child than in adult, these possible differences depend also on the current
distribution of the phone
Usage should have a large influence on the exposure
Exposure from access point is weak compare to exposure from mobile
The exposure of the bone marrow of children can exceed that of adults
due to the strong decrease in electric conductivity of this tissue with age

19. WBSAR for plane wave exposure at
the reference levels Whole body SAR vs Incident field
Reference levels were established Adults
with simple model to guaranty that
basic restriction will never been exceed.
Several studies using morphed
models report that exposed to the same children
incident field strength children can have
higher exposure
Recent study using MRI based child
models has shown that exposed to
reference level the ICNIRP basic
restrictions on the WBSAR are
exceeded for small children by
maximum 45%
