For Your Safety 94
Do wireless devices pose any special risks to children?
The FDA/FCC website states that “the scientific evidence does not show
a danger to users of wireless communication devices, including children”.
The FDA/FCC website further states that “some groups sponsored by
other national governments have advised that children be discouraged
from using wireless device at all”. For example, the Stewart Report from
the United Kingdom [“UK”] made such a recommendation in December
2000. In this report a group of independent experts noted that no
evidence exists that using a device causes brain tumors or other ill effects.
[The UK’s] recommendation to limit device use by children was strictly
precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health
hazard exists. A copy of the UK’s leaflet is available at http://www.dh.gov.
uk (search “mobile”), or you can write to: NRPB, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon
OX11 ORQ, United Kingdom. Copies of the UK’s annual reports on mobile
device and RF are available online at www.iegmp.org.uk and http://www.
hpa.org.uk/radiation/ (search “mobile”). Parents who wish to reduce their
children’s RF exposure may choose to restrict their children’s wireless
device use.
Where can I get further information about RF emissions?
