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?
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 radiofrequency 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 causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to
limit wireless phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not
based on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.
Do hands-free kits for wireless phones reduce risks from exposure to RF
emissions?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless
phones, there is no reason to believe that hands-free kits reduce risks.
Hands-free kits can be used with wireless phones for convenience and
comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of RF energy in the head
because the phone, which is the source of the RF emissions, will not be
placed against the head. On the other hand, if the phone is mounted against
the waist or other part of the body during use, then that part of the body
will absorb more RF energy. Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are
required to meet safety requirements regardless of whether they are used
against the head or against the body. Either configuration should result in
compliance with the safety limit.
