The energy levels associated with radio frequency energy,
including both radio waves and microwaves, are not great
enough to cause ionization of atoms and molecules.
Therefore, RF energy is a type of non-ionizing radiation.
Other types of non-ionizing radiation include visible light,
infrared radiation (heat), and other forms of
electromagnetic radiation with relatively low frequencies.

While RF energy does not ionize particles, large amounts
can increase body temperatures and cause tissue damage.
Two areas of the body, the eyes and the testes, are
particularly vulnerable to RF heating because there is
relatively little blood flow in them to carry away excess
heat.

Research Results to Date: Is there a connection between

RF and certain health problems?

The results of most studies conducted to date say no. In
addition, attempts to replicate and confirm the few studies
that have shown a connection have failed.

The scientific community at large therefore believes that
the weight of scientific evidence does not show an
association between exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
from cell phones and adverse health outcomes. Still the
scientific community has supported additional research to
address gaps in knowledge. Some of these studies are
described below.
