Safety
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
