Do wireless phones 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
phones 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 www.iegmp.org.uk and 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 phone use.
Where can I get further information about RF emissions?
