phone. The phone may be forced to boost
its power to compensate, leading to an
increase in RF absorption.
Children and Cell Phones
The scientific evidence does not show a
danger 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.
•
Reduce the amount of time spent on the
cell phone;
•
Use speaker mode or a headset to place
more distance between the head and the
cell phone.
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, a group of independent experts
noted that no evidence exists that using
a cell 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 health
hazard exists.
