Do Wireless Phones Pose Any Special Risks to
Children?
The FDA website states that "[t]he scientific evidence does not
show a danger to any users of cell phones from RF exposure,
including children and teenagers." The FDA website further
states that "[s]ome groups sponsored by other national
governments have advised that children be discouraged from
using cell 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 0RQ, United Kingdom. Copies of UK's annual
reports on mobile phones and RF are available online at http://
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 device
use.
