The last decade has witnessed a signifcant mobile phone usage thus raising public concern as to whether this daily use exposes people to the electromagnetic felds EMF. Many researchers are interested in the human neurophysical functioning. The study will also attempt to investigate the effects of EMF-RF exposure from the mobile phones signals on children as well as adults. There are small changes that are observed on the EEG regarding the alpha frequency spectral power. Additionally, acute RF-EMF exposure has no effects on human cognitive functioning. Children are considered vulnerable, and therefore the risk of their central nervous system and brain being affected is high because the skull is considerably thinner and still developing.
