United Kingdom ["UK"] made such a recommendation in December 2000.
In this report a group of independent experts noted that no evidence
exists that using a cell phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. [The
UK's] recommendation to limit cell phone use by children was strictly
precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard
exists. A copy of the UK's leaflet is available at http://www.dh.gov.uk (search
"mobile"), or you can write to: NRPB, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11 ORQ,
United Kingdom. Copies of the UK's annual reports on mobile phones and
RF are available online at www.iegmp.org.uk and http://www.hpa.org.uk/
radiation/ (search "mobile"). Parents who wish to reduce their children's RF
exposure may choose to restrict their children's wireless phone use.
Where can I get further information about RF emissions?
