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.
