Because there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from cell phones, there is no reason to believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-free kits can be used for convenience and comfort. They are also required by law in many states if you want to use your phone while driving.

Children and Cell Phones

The scientific evidence does not show adanger 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.

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 ametallic	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 intertere
with proper operation of the phone. The phone may be forced
to boost its power to compensate, leading to an increase in
RF absorption.

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,agroup of independent experts noted that no
evidence exists that using acell 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 heatth hazard		exists.
