What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radio frequency 
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 radio frequency 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 scientific 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.

 

What about children using wireless phones?

 

The scientific 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 radio frequency 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.

 

Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that 

children be discouraged from using wireless phones 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 wireless phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their 

recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children was strictly 

precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health 

hazard exists. 

 

Do hands-free kits for wireless phones reduce risks from exposure 
to RF emissions?

 

Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from 

wireless phones, there is no reason to believe that hands-free kits reduce 

risks. Hands-free kits can be used with wireless phones for convenience 

and comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of RF energy in the 

head because the phone, which is the source of the RF emissions, will not 

be placed against the head. On the other hand, if the phone is mounted 

against the waist or other part of the body during use, then that part of 

the body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless phones marketed in the 

U.S. are required to meet safety requirements regardless of whether they 

are used against the head or against the body. Either configuration should
