Limiting Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
Fields
For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields,
the World Health Organisation (WHO) provides the following
advice:
Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does
not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of
mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose
to limit their own or their children’s RF exposure by limiting the
length of calls, or using ‘hands-free’ devices to keep mobile
phones away from the head and body.
Further information on this subject can be obtained from the
WHO home page http://www.who.int/peh-emf (WHO Fact sheet
193: June 2000).
Driving
Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to
reduce the risk of an accident. Using a phone while driving (even
with a hands free kit) can cause distraction and lead to an
accident. You must comply with local laws and regulations
restricting the use of wireless devices while driving.
