9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to Radio
Frequency energy from my tablet?
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 (RF) energy. Since time is a key factor
in how much exposure a person receives, reducing the amount of time
spent using a tablet will reduce RF exposure. If you must conduct extended
conversations using a wireless device 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 tablet away from your body or use a wireless
device connected to a remote antenna. Again, the scientific data does not
demonstrate that tablets 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 tablet use.
10. What about children using tablets?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of tablets, including
children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower exposure to Radio
Frequency (RF) energy, the measures described above would apply to
children and teenagers using tablets. Reducing the time of tablet use and
increasing the distance between the user and the RF source will reduce RF
exposure.
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that
children be discouraged from using wireless devices at all. For example,
the government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing
such a recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no evidence
exists that using a wireless device causes brain tumors or other ill effects.
Their recommendation to limit wireless device use by children was strictly
