Children and Cell Phones
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to any
users of cell phones from RF exposure, including children
and teenagers. The steps adults can take to reduce RF
exposure apply to children and teenagers as well.
•
Reduce the amount of time spent on the cell phone;
•
Use speaker mode or a headset to place more distance
between the head and the cell phone.
Some groups sponsored by other national governments
have advised that children be discouraged from using cell
phones at all. For example, The Stewart Report from the
United Kingdom 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. Their
recommendation to limit cell phone use by children was
strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific
evidence that any health hazard exists.
