For Your Safety
RF energy. Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are required to meet safety
requirements regardless of whether they are used against the head or against
the body. Either configuration should result in compliance with the safety limit.”
Also, if you use your wireless phone while in a car, you can use a phone with
an antenna on the outside of the vehicle. You should also read and follow your
wireless phone manufacturer’s instructions for the safe operation of your phone.
Do wireless phones pose any special risks to children?
The FDA/FCC website states that “the scientific evidence does not show a
danger to users of wireless 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?
