10. 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 radiofrequency
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.
11. What about wireless phone
interference with medical
equipment?
Radiofrequency energy (RF)
from wireless phones can
interact with some electronic
devices. For this reason, the
FDA helped develop a
detailed test method to
measure electromagnetic
interference (EMI) of
implanted cardiac
pacemakers and defibrillators
from wireless telephones.
This test method is now part
of a standard sponsored by
the Association for the
Advancement of Medical
instrumentation (AAMI). The
final draft, a joint effort by the
FDA, medical device
manufacturers, and many
other groups, was completed
in late 2000. This standard
will allow manufacturers to
ensure that cardiac
pacemakers and defibrillators
are safe from wireless phone
EMI. The FDA has tested
hearing aids for interference
from handheld wireless
phones and helped develop a
voluntary standard sponsored
by the Institute of Electrical
and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE). This standard specifies
test methods and
