9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to Radio Frequency energy from

my wireless phone?

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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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

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
