9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to Radio Frequency energy from
my wireless phone?
Ifthereisariskfromtheseproducts—andatthispointwedonotknowthatthere
is—itisprobablyverysmall.Butifyouareconcernedaboutavoidingevenpotential
risks,youcantakeafewsimplestepstominimizeyourexposuretoRadioFrequency
(RF)energy.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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example,thegovernmentintheUnitedKingdom
distributedleafletscontainingsucharecommendationinDecember2000.Theynoted
thatnoevidenceexiststhatusingawirelessphonecausesbraintumorsorotherill
effects.Theirrecommendationtolimitwirelessphoneusebychildrenwasstrictly
precautionary;itwasnotbasedonscientificevidencethatanyhealthhazardexists.
11. What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?
