Limiting Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
Fields
For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF
fields, the World Health Organization (WHO) provides the
following advice:
Precautionary measures: Present scientific information
does not indicate the need for any special precautions for
the use of mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they
might choose to limit their own or their children’s RF
exposure by limiting the length of calls, or using ‘hands-free’
devices to keep mobile phones away from the head and
body.
Further information on this subject can be obtained from the
WHO home page http://www.who.int/peh-emf (WHO Fact
sheet 193: June 2000).
Distraction
Driving
Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to
reduce the risk of an accident. Using a phone while driving
(even with a hands free kit) can cause distraction and lead to
an accident. You must comply with local laws and
regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while
driving.
