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 evidence exists that using a wireless
