9. What steps can I take to
reduce my exposure to
radiofrequency energy from
my wireless phone?
If there is a risk from these
products - and at this point
we do not know that there is
- it is 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
radiofrequency energy (RF).
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 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 scientifi c
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 RF exposure from
wireless phone use.
10. What about children using
wireless phones?
The scientifi c 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 radiofrequency
energy (RF), 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.
