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
radio frequency 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.
