IN THE ABSENCE OF CONCLUSIVE INFORMATION ABOUT ANY
POSSIBLE RISK, WHAT CAN CONCERNED INDIVIDUALS DO?
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 people are concerned about
avoiding even potential risks, there are simple steps they can take to do
so. For example, time is a key factor in how much exposure a person
receives. Those persons who spend long periods of time on their hand-
held mobile phones could consider holding lengthy conversations on
conventional phones and reserving the hand-held models for shorter
conversations or for situations when other types of phones are not
available.
People who must conduct extended conversations in their cars every day
could switch to a type of mobile phone that places more distance between
their bodies and the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off
dramatically with distance. For example, they could switch toea mobile
phone in which the antenna is located outside the vehicle,
• a hand-held phone with a built-in antenna connected to a different
antenna mounted on the outside of the car or built into a separate
package, or
• a headset with a remote antenna to a mobile phone carried at the waist.
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that mobile phones are
harmful. But if people are concerned about the radio frequency energy
from these products, taking the simple precautions outlined above can
reduce any possible risk.
