1. 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 radiofrequency energy
(RF) in the microwave range while being used. They
also emit very low levels of RF when in the standby
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.
