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.
10. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to Radio Frequency energy from
my wireless phone?
If there is a risk from these products- and at this point we do not know that there is -
it is probably very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding even potential risks,
you can take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
energy. Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a person receives, reducing
the amount of time spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure. If you must
conduct extended conversations by wireless phone on a daily basis, consider placing
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 scientific 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.
