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.
Where can I get further information about RF emissions?
