Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals

network as cell phones and can use the same Radio Frequency 
(RF) signals to communicate with the network as a cell phone....

enough to cause ionization of atoms and molecules. Therefore, 
RF energy is a type of non-ionizing radiation. Other types of non-
ionizing radiation include visible light, infrared radiation (heat), 
and other forms of electromagnetic radiation with relatively low 
frequencies.
While RF energy does not ionize particles, large amounts can 
increase body temperatures and cause tissue damage. Two 
areas of the body, the eyes and the testes, are particularly...

Inter national Cohor t Study on Mobile Phone Users (COSMOS)
The COSMOS study aims to conduct long-term health monitoring 
of a large group of people to determine if there are any health 
issues linked to long-term exposure to radio frequency energy 
from cell phone use. The COSMOS study will follow 
approximately 300,000 adult cell phone users in Europe for 20 to 
30 years. Additional information about the COSMOS study can be 
found at

Some groups sponsored by other national governments have 
advised that children be discouraged from using cell phones at 
all. For example, The Stewart Report from the United Kingdom 
made such a recommendation in December 2000. In this report, 
a group of independent experts noted that no evidence exists that 
using a cell phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their 
recommendation to limit cell phone use by children was strictly 
precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that...
