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.
