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.
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.
9. What steps can I take to reduce my
exposure to radiofrequency 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 radiofrequency 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.
