Do wireless phones pose any special risks to children?
The FDA/FCC website states that "the scientific evidence does not show a
danger to users of wireless communication devices, including children. " The
FDA/FCC website further states that "some groups sponsored by other
national governments have advised that children be discouraged from
using wireless phones at all" . For example, the Stewart Report from the
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?
