base stations operate at 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 subject of the safety questions discussed
in this document.
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term "wireless phone" refers here to handheld wireless
phones with built-in antennas, often called "cell", "mobile", or
"PCS" phones. These types of wireless phones can expose the
user to measurable radiofrequency energy (RF) because of
the short distance between the phone and the user's head.
These RF exposures are limited by FCC safety guidelines that
were developed with the advice of the FDA and other federal
health and safety agencies. When the phone is located
at greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF is
drastically lower because a person's RF 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 pre-disposed 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
