a few simple steps to minimize

 

 

your exposure to Radio

 

 

Frequency (RF) energy. Since

 

 

time is a key factor in how much

 

 

exposure a person 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

Safety

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,

104you 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
