According to Apple’s product information guide, iPads can emit even more radiation than cell phones.http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1524/en_US/iPad_Important_Product_Information_Guide.pdf Also, the scientific literature clearly shows that children absorb more radiation than adults.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21999884
According to the scientific evidence itself, in our opinion, it would be reasonable to state that children who use iPads for long periods of time are likely to have a significantly increased risk of developing cancer. Equally worrying is that in my opinion, children may actually suffer severe reproductive harm. So what kind of risk are we talking about? Isn’t that really the question? According to high quality independently funded research by Dr. Lennart Hardell of Sweden:
For every 100 hours of cellphone use, the risk of brain cancer increases by 5%.
So how many hours would children in Fullerton schools be exposed?
175 days x 6 hours = 875 hours per year.
That means after each year of exposure to these wireless devices there would be a 44% increased risk of brain cancer.
After 13 years, this comes to a 572% increased risk of cancer, for adults that is. For children, the increased risk would be much more, as research shows that they have at least double the risk of adults.
So according to these calculations, children would have an 1100% increased risk of brain cancer as a result of using an iPad at school. This does not include time spent doing homework or other extraneous activities. WiFi enabled devices such as tablets and laptops in the classroom possibly emit as much or more high frequency pulse modulated microwave radiation as a cell phone and they are in direct proximity to the children’s sensitive developing reproductive areas.

Is the prelude to a massive class action lawsuit?

Nope, lawsuits have already been tried… See below. Usually these individual suits have to have merit before they run the class action thing. May have some luck in Italy though. Not sure what happened there but I’m always a little dubious when lawyers practice science.

Is there a Link between Cell Phone Use and Thyroid Cancer?
“The incidence of thyroid cancer has been on the rise in Israel for more than a decade, which matches the rise in the use of cell phones.”
By Rong Wang, PhD | April 29, 2013 | Categories: General, Radiation
Israeli scientists have reported preliminary findings of a possible link between cell phone radiation and thyroid cancer.
Does Cell Phone Radiation Cause Thyroid Cancer?
Conducted at Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva and at Tel Aviv University, the Israeli research showed evidence for the first time of the possible connection between the rise in thyroid cancer cases to the increased exposure to radiation emitted by cell phones.
In the experiment, human thyroid cells collected from healthy patients were subjected to radiation from a device that simulates the electromagnetic radiation emitted by cell phones. The irradiated thyroid cells proliferated at a much higher, statistically significant rate than non-irradiated cells in the control group.
According to the lead researcher Prof. Raphael Feinmesser, head of Beilinson’s Ear, Nose and Throat Department, “The findings are the first evidence of changes in thyroid cells in response to electromagnetic radiation… ”
“The thyroid gland is located in the neck, but the area is located the same distance from the ear as the regions of the brain where [cancerous] growths have been diagnosed as being related to the use of the [cellular] devices. This is a region that is not far from the center of the device’s radiation,” said Feinmesser.
An Increase in Thyroid Cancer and Cell Phone Use
The incidence of thyroid cancer has been on the rise in Israel for more than a decade, which matches the rise in the use of cell phones. In the United States, the chance of being diagnosed with thyroid cancer has also risen in recent years and is now more than twice what it was in 1990, according to the American Cancer Society.
There are about 60,220 new cases of thyroid cancer in 2013 (45,310 in women, and 14,910 in men). For women, it is the cancer with the fastest-growing number of new cases.
This recent research comes after a 2007 Israeli nationwide study reported an association between cellular phone use and parotid gland tumors (PGTs), tumor of the largest salivary gland located on the sides of the face.
