discouraged from using wireless phones at all”.
For example, the Stewart Report from the United
Kingdom [“UK”] made such a recommendation
in December 2000. In this report a group of
independent experts noted that no evidence exists
that 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?
