Health and Safety Information 89

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.
