4. What are the results of the 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
	characteristic of wireless phones
	have yielded conflicting results
	that often cannot be repeated in
Safety	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.

86Other 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 wireless phone RF exposures. However, none of the studies can answer questions about long- term exposures, since the average period of phone use in these studies was around three years.
