Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published
information for consumers relating to Radio Frequency (RF) exposure
from wireless phones. The FDA publication includes the following
information:

Do cell phones pose a health hazard?

Many people are concerned that cell phone radiation will cause
cancer or other serious health hazards. The weight of scientific
evidence has not linked cell phones with any health problems.

Cell phones emit low levels of Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Over the
past 15 years, scientists have conducted hundreds of studies looking
at the biological effects of the radio frequency energy emitted by cell
phones. While some researchers have reported biological changes
associated with RF energy, these studies have failed to be replicated.
The majority of studies published have failed to show an association
between exposure to radio frequency from a cell phone and health
problems.
