exposure decreases rapidly
with increasing distance from
the source. The so-called
'cordless phones,' which
have a base unit connected
to the telephone wiring in a
house, typically operate at far
lower power levels, and thus
produce RF exposures far
below the FCC safety limits.
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
radiofrequency energy (RF)
exposures characteristic of
wireless phones have yielded
conflicting results 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 predisposed 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 don't
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
