|
| probably very small. But if you |
|
| are concerned about avoiding |
|
| even potential risks, you can take |
|
| a few simple steps to minimize |
|
| your exposure to Radio |
|
| Frequency (RF) energy. Since |
|

| exposure a person receives, |
|
| reducing the amount of time |

|
| reduce RF exposure. If you must |

| could place more distance |
|
| between your body and the |
|
| source of the RF, since the |
|
| exposure level drops off |
|
| dramatically with distance. For |
|

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.
