Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised

that children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For

example, the government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets

containing such a recommendation in December 2000. They noted that

no evidence exists that using a wireless phone causes brain tumors or

other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit wireless phone use by

children was strictly precautionary, and was not based on scientific

evidence that any health hazard exists. More recently, a report

published in January 2005 by the British National Radiological

Protection Board (NRPB) summarized the results of various studies

from 2000 to 2004 on the effects of wireless phone use, and concluded

that there is no hard evidence that the health of the public is being

harmed by the use of wireless phones, but that uncertainties remain

regarding the risks associated with long-term wireless phone use.

Therefore, the report suggested that a "precautionary or prudent

approach" to reducing RF exposure from wireless phones should be

followed until more is known about these potential risks, including the

potential increased sensitivity of children to RF. The report (NRPB-

W65) is available for download at the NRPB website (www.nrpb.org).

Again, the scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of

wireless phones, including children and teenagers. If you want to take

steps to lower exposure to RF, the measures described above would

apply to children and teenagers using wireless phones. Specifically,

reducing the time of wireless phone use and increasing the distance

between the user and the RF source will reduce RF exposure.

The FDA scientific staff has reviewed the methodology used by FCC to

measure cell phone RF, and has agreed that it is an acceptable

approach, given our current understanding of the risks presented by

cellular phone RF emissions. RF emissions from cellular phones have
