leukemia, or other cancers. None of the
studies demonstrated the existence of

phone RF exposures. However, none of
the studies can answer questions about
long-term exposures, since the average
period of phone use in these studies

was around three years.

5. What research is needed to decide
whether RF exposure from wireless
phones poses a health risk?

A combination of laboratory studies
and epidemiological studies of people
actually using wireless phones would
provide some of the data that are
needed. Lifetime animal exposure
studies could be completed in a few
years. However, very large numbers of
animals would be needed to provide
reliable proof of a cancer promoting
