phone, so you can find your phone’s RF exposure
level in the online listing.
9. 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.
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)
