Analysis of children exposure to electromagnetic waves (KidPocket)

Participants : Stéphane Lanteri, Joe Wiart [ WHIST Laboratory, Orange Labs, Issy-les-Moulineaux ] .

The project-team is a partner of the KidPocket project (Analysis of RF children exposure linked to the use of new networks or usages) which is funded by ANR in the framework of the Réseaux du Futur et Services program and has started in October 2009 for a duration of 3 years. This project is coordinated by Joe Wiart from the WHIST (Wave Human Interactions and Telecommunications) Laboratory at Orange Labs in Issy-les-Moulineaux and the other partners are: Télécom ParisTech, Télécom Bretagne, Phimeca Engineering, Université Paris-Est Marne la Vallée, Université Pierre et Marie Curie, INSERM (Unité 605, Institut Gustave Roussy in Villejuif). The objectives of the KidPocket project are: (a) to develop new child phantoms (geometrical models for numerical dosimetry studies), (b) to develop tools to deform phantoms in a consistent way with respect to the anatomy and create new posture in order to study the exposure linked to new usages and, (c) to develop tools to manage the uncertainty attached to the exposure estimations.
