Do wireless phones pose any special risks
to children?
The FDA/FCC website states that “the
scientifi c 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] recom-
mendation to limit cell phone use by children
was strictly precautionary; it was not based
on scientifi c evidence that any health hazard
exists. A copy of the UK’s leafl et 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?
