Health and safety information
"If you must conduct extended
conversations by wireless phone 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 wireless phone away
from your body or use a wireless phone
connected to a remote antenna.
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate
that wireless phones 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 wireless phone use.
What about children using wireless
phones?
46
The scientific evidence does not show a
danger to users of wireless phones,
including children and teenagers. If you
want to take steps to lower exposure to
radio frequency energy (RF), the measures
described above would apply to children and
teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing
the time of wireless phone 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 phones 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 phone
