Do Wireless Phones Pose Any Special Risks to Children? The FDA website states that "[t]he scientific evidence does not show a danger to any users of cell phones from RF exposure, including children and teenagers." The FDA website further states that "[s]ome groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that children be discouraged from using cell 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 0RQ, United Kingdom. Copies of UK's annual reports on mobile phones and RF are available online at http:// 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 device use. Where Can I Obtain Further Information About RF Emissions?
