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 wire-
less 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
radiofrequency energy (RF), 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 inter-
ference with medical equipment?
Radio frequency energy (RF) from
wireless phones can interact with some
electronic devices. For this reason, the
FDA helped develop a detailed test
method to measure electromagnetic
interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac
pacemakers and defibrillators from
wireless telephones. This test method
is now part of a standard sponsored by
the Association for the Advancement of
