the body’s ability to remove heat from the tissues that absorb energy from the
wireless phone and is set well below levels known to have effects. Manufacturers of
wireless phones must report the RF exposure level for each model of phone to the
FCC.
The FCC website (http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/cellular.html) gives directions for locating
the FCC identification number on your phone, so you can find your phone’s RF
exposure level in the online listing.
9. 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.
10. 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
