Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using wireless phones.There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used.They also emit very low levels of RF when in the stand-by mode.Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effects.Some studies have suggested that some biological effects may occur,but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.In some cases, other researchers have had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in determining the reasons for inconsistent results.
