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 lim-
ited by Federal Communications
Commission safety guidelines that
were developed with the advice of
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 pro-
duced conicting results, and many
studies have suffered from aws
in their research methods. Animal
experiments investigating the ef-
fects of radiofrequency energy (RF)
exposures characteristic of wireless
phones have yielded conicting
