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. Many
factors affect this measurement, such as the
angle at which the phone is held, or which
model of phone is used.
