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 exposure to
radiofrequency energy (RF),
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
