OK, so developing a "high-tech" uniform with special material and pockets for cell phones sounds like something an authoritarian government wearing tin foil hats might dream up. But the jury is still out on what real effects electromagnetic radiation from the devices might have on children.

According to the Russian National Committee for Protection Against Ionizing Radiation, in children who use mobile phones, should expect a weakening of memory, decline of attention, irritability, sleep violation, reducing the critical alert. [Translated through Google]

Sounds like normal teenagers to me.

E-Wave Chip Protects Against Scary, If Not Scientifically Proven, Threat of Cellphone Radiation

Cellphone radiation is spawning worries that it can do everything from making sperm stupid to popping popcorn... which means it's prime time to start selling "cures" like this "radiation reducing" E-wave phone chip.

Omega, a Belgian health products company that usually markets things like suntan lotion and wart treatments, is branching out into protective tech gadgets. It's E-wave chip, which attaches onto phones, allegedly offsets electromagnetic radiation and neutralizes the "heating effect" caused by electromagnetic signals. All tests to prove these claims seem to have been done by Omega itself.

In case you've run out of tin foil hats, this little device is now out in Belgium for $50. It'll be rolled out to the rest of the cellphone radiation fearing world in 2009. [Reuters]
