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.

10. What about children us-

ing 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.

11. What about wireless

phone interference with

medical equipment?

Radio Frequency (RF) energy from

wireless phones can interact with

some electronic devices. For this

reason, the FDA helped develop a

detailed test method to measure

Electro Magnetic Interference

(EMI) of implanted cardiac

pacemakers and defibrillators

from wireless telephones. This test
