For Your Safety 89
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
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?
