receives, reducing the amount
of time spent using a wireless
phone will reduce RF exposure.
If you must conduct extended
conversations by wireless
phone every day, you could
place more distance between
your body and the source of
the RF, since the exposure
level drops off dramatically with
distance. For example, you could
use a headset and carry the
wireless phone away from your
body or use a wireless phone
connected to a remote antenna.
Again, the scientific data do
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 using
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
