• “If you must conduct extended conversations by device 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
device away from your body or use a device connected to a remote
antenna.
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that devices 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 device use.
What about children using devices?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of devices,
including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower
exposure to radio frequency energy (RF), the measures described
above would apply to children and teenagers using devices. Reducing
the time of device use and increasing the distance between the user
and the RF source will reduce RF exposure.
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised
that children be discouraged from using devices at all. For example, the
government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such
a recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no evidence
exists that using a device causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their
recommendation to limit device use by children was strictly
precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health
hazard exists.
