wireless phone will reduce RF exposure. 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 scientifi c data does 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.
10. What about children using wireless phones?
The scientifi c 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 (RF) energy, 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 causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their
recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children was
strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientifi c evidence that
any health hazard exists.
