higher power than do the wireless
phones themselves, the RF exposures
that people get from these base stations
are typically thousands of times lower
than those they can get from wireless
phones.
Base stations are thus not the primary
subject of the safety questions
discussed in this document.
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

frequency 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 pre-disposed to develop cancer in
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
