Safety

by the whole body or a small part of the body. It is measured in watts/

kg (or milliwatts/g) of matter. This measurement is used to determine

whether a wireless phone complies with safety guidelines.

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 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 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
