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,

 

you can use measures like those

 

described above to reduce your

10. What about children using

e ty

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 Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no evidence exists that using a wireless phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.
