receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless
phone will reduce RF exposure.
•
If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone
every day, you could place 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.

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.
