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.
Where can I get further information about RF emissions?
