10. 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 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 scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.
11. What about wireless phone interference with medical
equipment?
Radio Frequency (RF) energy from wireless phones can
interact with some electronic devices. For this reason, the FDA
helped develop a detailed test method to measure Electro
Magnetic Interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers
and defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test method
is now part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the
Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). The final
draft, a joint effort by the FDA, medical device manufacturers,
and many other groups, was completed in late 2000. This
standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac
pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from wireless phone
EMI.
The FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from
handheld wireless phones and helped develop a voluntary
standard sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test methods and
performance requirements for hearing aids and wireless
phones so that no interference occurs when a person uses
