A major opinion piece in Aftonbladet, one of Sweden’s largest and most influential daily newspapers (English translation available), reports on warnings from Swedish experts highlighting alarming increases in memory, sleep, and neurological problems in children and adolescents in Sweden and Norway that the authors link to rising exposure to mobile phones, Wi‑Fi, and 5G radiofrequency (RF) radiation. The article cites strong parallel trends in diagnosed memory and sleep issues alongside increasing wireless use and RF exposure, and argues that these trends go beyond just social/behavioural effects of screen time, pointing to possible biological effects of RF radiation on developing brains. Swedish experts Lennart Hardell (Environment and Cancer Research Foundation, former professor and chief physician, Department of Oncology, Örebro University Hospital) and Mona Nilsson (Radiation Protection Foundation) call for urgent action to reassess exposure limits and protect children’s brains from RF radiation, including updated risk assessments and stricter exposure guidelines.

We have previously reported on this issue, documenting a continuing sharp rise in memory problems among children in Sweden and Norway (view our earlier report here). This evidence underscores the urgent need to address children’s exposure to RF/EMF radiation from wireless devices.

The experts are calling for urgent action, including updated risk assessments, stricter exposure limits, and stronger protection for children’s developing brains.
