Cell Phone Accessories that Claim to
Shield the Head from RF Radiation
Because there are no known risks from
exposure to RF emissions from cell
phones, there is no reason to believe that
accessories which claim to shield the
head from those emissions reduce risks.
Some products that claim to shield the
user from RF absorption use special
phone cases, while others involve
nothing more than a metallic accessory
attached to the phone.
Studies have shown that these products
generally do not work as advertised.
Unlike “hands-free” kits, these so-called
“shields” may interfere with proper
operation of the phone. The phone may
be forced to boost its power to
compensate, leading to an increase in RF
absorption.
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.
