Do wireless phones pose any special risks to children?
The FDA/FCC website states that “the scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless
communication devices, including children.”The FDA/FCC website further states that “some groups sponsored
by other national governments have advised that children be 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.
