In today’s world, children are increasingly linked to technology and are therefore more exposed to the effects of electromagnetic pollution. The Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of them.

Children of this generation are digital natives, so they are increasingly attached to technologies and do not know anything different from that. This attachment has consequences that go beyond, for example, dependence on smart devices; but It can also have an impact on very important aspects of their health, such as cognitive development.

However, unlike what you might imagine, we are not talking about the content children watch or what they can do on their devices; but from the electromagnetic fields (EMF) to which they are constantly exposed due to the use of such technology. It has been proven that there is a higher incidence of ADHD in children who are more exposed to EMF pollution.

Today, we want to explain more about this problem and how, through our technology, we help you protect your children from these unwanted effects.

What is ADHD?

ADHD is a medical disorder whose acronym stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The development and activity of the brain of people with ADHD have some differences that affect attention, the ability to stay still, and self-control. ADHD can affect a child in more than one aspect of his/her life, such as school, home, and with friends.

This is a chronic condition that affects millions of children and often continues into adulthood.

ADHD symptoms

Many experts agree that the tendency to develop ADHD is present from birth, although the behaviors that demonstrate it are often not noticed until a child enters elementary school. The reason for this is that almost all children display ADHD behaviors or symptoms in preschool, while others continue to exhibit these behaviors over time.

Children with ADHD may have symptoms in one, two, or three of the following categories:

• Inattentive. Kids who are inattentive, have trouble focusing their attention, concentrating, and staying on task. They may not listen well to directions, may miss important details, and may not finish what they start. They may daydream or dawdle too much. They may seem absent-minded or forgetful, and lose track of their things.
• Hyperactive. Kids who are hyperactive are fidgety, restless, and easily bored. They may have trouble sitting still, or staying quiet when needed. They may rush through things and make careless mistakes. They may climb, jump, or roughhouse when they shouldn’t. Without meaning to, they may act in ways that disrupt others.
• Impulsive. Kids who are impulsive act too quickly before thinking. They often interrupt, might push or grab, and find it hard to wait. They may do things without asking for permission, take things that aren’t theirs, or act in ways that are risky. They may have emotional reactions that seem too intense for the situation.

Electromagnetic pollution in the development of ADHD

For several years, a growing concern has arisen about the possible negative effects of children’s exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields. Around this concern, a group of Korean scientists articulated an extensive study that grouped a total of 2,422 children from 27 schools in 10 cities in Korea. This study concluded that there is indeed a risk of ADHD symptoms associated with mobile phone use for voice calls and radiofrequency.

Likewise, in 2008 a study of 13,000 children with behavioral problems was carried out, where their mothers were asked about the use of cell phones during and after pregnancy. The researchers concluded that there was a direct correlation, in fact, an 80% greater trend for children to have behavioral, emotional, and hyperactive conditions after excessive exposure to cell phones prenatal and postnatal.

“Symptoms of retarded memory, learning, cognition, attention, and behavioral problems have been reported in numerous studies and are similarly manifested in autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorders, as a result of EMF and RFR exposures where both epigenetic drivers and genetic (DNA) damage are likely contributors. Technology benefits can be realized by adopting wired devices for education to avoid health risks and promote academic achievement”.

Noxtak technology as a solution to this problem

Based on our experience, we always advise our clients to protect their home, but especially the spaces and objects their children use to avoid problems in their cognitive and immune development. For years, we have dedicated ourselves to studying such cases and developing effective solutions to enable children and expectant mothers to use technology freely without suffering the damaging effects of electromagnetic pollution.

Our SPIRO technology has been tested by numerous independent laboratories and is patented as the only effective solution to filter electromagnetic contamination without blocking the path of the waves. So, it is a technology designed to allow the correct use and operation of the devices while protecting you from the contamination generated by their use.

For children who frequently use smart devices, tablets, and computers today, the Spiro Card L2 (three SPIRO films) is an ideal solution to handle typical levels of emission from personal devices. In the case of higher exposure levels, we can also scale this technology to ensure complete protection.

Our purpose is to filter and balance electromagnetic pollution while continuing to drive the use of current technologies and the development of new clean technologies that are friendlier to the human body.
