using a cell phone causes brain
tumors or other ill effects. [The
UK’s] recommendation to limit
cell phone use by children was
strictly precautionary; it was not
based on scientific evidence that
any health hazard exists. A copy
of the UK’s leaflet is 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 http://
www.hpa.org.uk/radiation/ (search
“mobile”). Parents who wish to
reduce their children’s RF exposure
may choose to restrict their
children’s wireless phone use.
Where can I get further
information about RF emissions?
