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) 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
