	research done already?
	The research done thus far has
	produced conflicting results, and
	many studies have suffered from
	flaws in their research methods.
	Animal experiments investigating
	the effects of Radio Frequency
	(RF) energy exposures
S	characteristic of wireless phones
a f e	have yielded conflicting results
ty	that often cannot be repeated in
	other laboratories. A few animal
	studies, however, have suggested
	that low levels of RF could
	accelerate the development of
	cancer in laboratory animals.
	However, many of the studies
	that showed increased tumor
	development used animals that

had been genetically engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as to be pre- disposed to develop cancer in the absence of RF exposure. Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22 hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the conditions under which people use wireless phones, so we do not know with certainty what the results of such studies mean for human health. Three large epidemiology studies have been published since December 2000. Between them, the studies investigated any possible association between the use of wireless phones and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful health effects from
