But if you are concerned about avoiding even potential
risks, you can take a few Micro SIMple steps to minimize
your exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy. 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 does 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 Radio
Frequency (RF) energy, 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
