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 energy (RF)
from wireless phones can
interact with some electronic
devices. For this reason, the
FDA helped develop a
detailed test method to
measure electromagnetic
interference (EMI) of
implanted cardiac pacemakers
and defibrillators from
wireless telephones. This test
method is now part of a
standard sponsored by the
Association for the
Advancement of Medical
instrumentation (AAMI). The
final draft, a joint effort by
the FDA, medical device
manufacturers, and many
other groups, was completed
