  • Page 140 What kinds of phones are the subject of this update? The term “wireless phones” refers here to hand-held wireless phones with built-in antennas, often called “cell,” “mobile,” or “PCS”. These types of wireless phones can expose the user to measurable radio frequency energy (RF) because of the short distance between the phone and the user’s head.

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 don’t know with certainty what results of such studies mean for human health.
  • Page 142 answers about some health effects, such as cancer. This is because the interval between the time of exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the time tumors develop - if they do - may be many, many years. The interpretation of epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones.
