of energy absorbed in tissue, either
by the whole body or a small part of
the body. It is measured in watts/kg
(or milliwatts/g) of matter. This
measurement is used to determine
whether a wireless phone complies
with safety guidelines.
9. What steps can I take to reduce
my exposure to radiofrequency
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 risks, you can take a
few simple steps to minimize your
exposure to radiofrequency energy
(RF). Since time is a key factor in how
much exposure a person receives,
reducing the amount of time spent
using a wireless phone will reduce
RF exposure. 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
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. 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
