in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of

guidelines.
9. What steps can I take to
reduce my exposure to radio
frequency energy from my
wireless phone?
If there is a risk from these
products — and at this point
we do not know that there is
— it is probably very small.
But if you are concerned about
avoiding even potential risks,
you can take a few simple steps
to minimize your exposure to
radio frequency energy (RF).
Since time is a key factor in
how much exposure a person
receives, reducing the amount
of time spent using a wireless
phone will reduce RF exposure.
If you must conduct extended
conversations by wireless phone
every day, you could place
more distance between your
body and the source of the RF,
since the exposure level drops
off dramatically with distance.
For example, you could use a
headset and carry the wireless
phone away from your body or
use a wireless phone connected
to a remote antenna. Again, the
scientific data do not demonstrate
that wireless phones are harmful.
But if you are concerned about
the RF exposure from these
products, you can use measures
like those described above to
reduce your RF exposure from
wireless phone use.
10. What about children using
wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does
not show a danger to users
of wireless phones, including
children and teenagers. If you
want to take steps to lower
exposure to radio frequency
energy (RF), the measures
described above would apply to
