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
