and thus produce RF
exposures far below the
FCC safety limits.
4. What are the results
of the research done
already?
The research done
thus far has produced
conflicting results, and
many studies have
suffered from flaws in
their research methods.
Animal experiments
investigating the effects
of Radio Frequency
(RF) energy exposures
characteristic of
wireless phones have
yielded conflicting
results that often
cannot be repeated
in other laboratories.
A few animal studies,
however, have suggested
that low levels of RF
could accelerate the
development of cancer
in laboratory animals.
However, many of the
studies that showed
increased tumor
development used
animals that had been
genetically engineered
or treated with cancer-
causing chemicals so
as to be pre-disposed
to develop cancer in the
absence of RF exposure.
Other studies exposed
the animals to RF for
up to 22 hours per
day. These conditions
are not similar to the
conditions under which
people use wireless
phones, so we do not
know with certainty
what the results of such
studies mean for human
health. Three large
epidemiology studies
have been published
since December 2000.
