Introduction: The exposure of human brain to electromagnetic waves can show adverse effects on brain functions. Electromagnetic waves effects on adult and child head have been
investigated and compared In the present study.
Methods and Materials: A simple spherical model consisted of six layers is considered to simulate the behavior of human brain. HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator) has been used to simulate mobile impact on human brain. MATLAB has been applied to numerically
simulate the effects of mobile waves on human brain by the hybrid Finite-Element Boundary Integral (FEM-BI) method.
Results: The results indicated that the mobile waves can penetrate deeper inside the child brain in comparison with the adult brain.
Discussion and Conclusion: HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator) and also hybrid Finite-Element –Boundary Integral (FEM-BI) method are fast and powerful methods to investigate the effects of electromagnetic waves on human body. The current study has studied the harmful effects of mobile waves on the child brain compared to the adult. Furthermore, this study sketched electromagnetic field distributions of skull in vicinity of mobile phone radiations. The results indicates that the penetration of mobile waves on child brain are more deeper than the adults. So reducing the children access to the mobile phones is recommended.
