78Children and Cell PhonesThe scientific evidence does not show a danger to any users of cell phones from RFexposure, including children and teenagers. The steps adults can take to reduce RFexposure apply to children and teenagers as well.• Reduce the amount of time spent on the cell phone;• Use speaker mode or a headset to place more distance between the head and the cellphone.Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that childrenbe discouraged from using cell phones at all. For example, The Stewart Report fromthe United Kingdom made such a recommendation in December 2000. In thisreport, a group of independent experts noted that no evidence exists that using acell phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limitcell phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientificevidence that any health hazard exists.Additional information on the safety of RF exposures from various sources can beobtained from the following organizations (updated 10/1/2010):• FCC RF Safety Program:http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/.• Environmental Protection Agency (EPA):http://www.epa.gov/radtown/wireless-tech.html.• Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA):http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/.(Note: This web address is case sensitive.)• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH):http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/.• World Health Organization (WHO):http://www.who.int/peh-emf/en/.• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection:http://www.icnirp.de.
