communication devices, including

children.” The FDA/FCC website

further states that “some groups

sponsored by other national

governments have advised that

children be discouraged from

using wireless 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

ORQ, United Kingdom. Copies of

the UK’s annual reports on mobile

phones and RF are available

online at 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 phone use.

Where can I get further

information about RF

emissions?
