a small part of the body. It
is measured in watts/kg (or
milliwatts/g) of matter. This
measurement is used to
determine whether a wireless
phone complies with safety
guidelines.
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. 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
