limit cell phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on

available at http://www.dh.gov.uk (search “mobile”), or you can write to: NRPB,
Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11 ORQ, United Kingdom. Copies of the UK’s annual
reports on mobile phones and RF are available online at www.iegmp.org.uk and

their children’s RF exposure may choose to restrict their children’s wireless
phone use.
Where can I get further information about RF emissions?
