Health and safety information92CTIA-funded research is conducted throughcontracts to independent investigators. The initialresearch will include both laboratory studies andstudies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will alsoinclude a broad assessment of additional researchneeds in the context of the latest researchdevelopments around the world.What steps can I take to reduce myexposure to radio frequency energy frommy wireless phone?If there is a risk from these products - and at thispoint we do not know that there is - it is probablyvery small. But if you are concerned about avoidingeven potential risks, you can take a few simple stepsto minimize your exposure to radio frequencyenergy (RF). Since time is a key factor in how muchexposure a person receives, reducing the amount oftime spent using a wireless phone will reduce RFexposure.• “If you must conduct extended conversations bywireless phone every day, you could place moredistance between your body and the source ofthe RF, since the exposure level drops offdramatically with distance. For example, youcould use a headset and carry the wireless phoneaway from your body or use a wireless phoneconnected to a remote antenna.Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate thatwireless phones are harmful. But if you areconcerned about the RF exposure from theseproducts, you can use measures like those describedabove to reduce your RF exposure from wirelessphone use.What about children using wireless phones?The scientific evidence does not show a danger tousers of wireless phones, including children andteenagers. If you want to take steps to lowerexposure to radio frequency energy (RF), themeasures described above would apply to childrenand teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing thetime of wireless phone use and increasing thedistance between the user and the RF source willreduce RF exposure.Some groups sponsored byother national governments have advised thatchildren be discouraged from using wireless phonesat all. For example, the government in the UnitedKingdom distributed leaflets containing such arecommendation in December 2000. They notedthat no evidence exists that using a wireless phonecauses brain tumors or other ill effects. Theirrecommendation to limit wireless phone use bychildren was strictly precautionary; it was not basedon scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.Do hands-free kits for wireless phonesreduce risks from exposure to RFemissions?
