What research is needed to decide
whether RF exposure from wireless
phones poses a health risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and
epidemiological studies of people actually
using wireless phones would provide some
of the data that are needed. Lifetime animal
exposure studies could be completed in a few
years. However, very large numbers of animals
would be needed to provide reliable proof
of a cancer promoting effect if one exists.
Epidemiological studies can provide data that
is directly applicable to human populations,
but ten or more years follow-up may be
needed to provide answers about some health
effects, such as cancer. This is because the
