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 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.
Do hands-free kits for wireless phones reduce risks from
exposure to RF emissions?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from
wireless phones, there is no reason to believe that handsfree kits
reduce risks. Hands-free kits can be used with wireless phones for
convenience and comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of
RF energy in the head because the phone, which is the source of the
RF emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other
hand, if the phone is mounted against the waist or other part of the
body during use, then that part of the body will absorb more RF
energy. Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are required to meet
safety requirements regardless of whether they are used against
the head or against the body. Either configuration should result in
compliance with the safety limit.
Do wireless phone accessories that claim to shield the head from
RF radiation work?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from
wireless phones, there is no reason to believe that accessories that
claim to shield the head from those emissions reduce risks. Some
products that claim to shield the user from RF absorption use
special phone cases, while others involve nothing more than a
metallic accessory attached to the phone. Studies have shown that
these products generally do not work as advertised. Unlike
"hand-free" kits, these so-called "shields" may interfere with
proper operation of the phone. The phone may be forced to boost its
power to compensate, leading to an increase in RF absorption.
