Do wireless devices 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 devices
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
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 device
use.
Where can I get further information about RF emissions?
