Frequency energy from my tablet?

avoidingevenpotentialrisks,youcantakeafewsimplestepstominimize
yourexposuretoRadioFrequency(RF)energy.Sincetimeisakeyfactor
inhowmuchexposureapersonreceives,reducingtheamountoftime
spentusingatabletwillreduceRFexposure.Ifyoumustconductextended
conversationsusingawirelessdeviceeveryday,youcouldplacemore
distancebetweenyourbodyandthesourceoftheRF,sincetheexposure

Thescientificevidencedoesnotshowadangertousersoftablets,including
childrenandteenagers.IfyouwanttotakestepstolowerexposuretoRadio

childrenandteenagersusingtablets.Reducingthetimeoftablet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devicesatall.Forexample,the
governmentintheUnitedKingdomdistributedleafletscontainingsucha
