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 10 or

more years follow-up may be needed to provide

answers about some health effects, such as cancer.

This is because the interval between the time of

exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the time

tumors develop - if they do - may be many, many

years. The interpretation of epidemiological studies is

hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF

exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones.

Many factors affect this measurement, such as the

angle at which the phone is held, or which model of

phone is used.

related to potential RF health effects?
