testes, are particularly vulnerable to RF heating
because there is relatively little blood flow in them to
carry away excess heat.
Research Results to Date: Is there a connection
between RF and certain health problems?
The results of most studies conducted to date say no.
In addition, attempts to replicate and confirm the few
studies that have shown a connection have failed.
The scientific community at large therefore believes
that the weight of scientific evidence does not show an
association between exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
from cell phones and adverse health outcomes. Still the
scientific community has supported additional research
to address gaps in knowledge. Some of these studies
are described below.
Interphone Study
Interphone is a large international study designed to
determine whether cell phones increase the risk of
head and neck cancer. A report published in the
International Journal of Epidemiology (June, 2010)
compared cell phone usage for more than 5,000 people
with brain tumors (glioma and meningioma) and a
similar number of healthy controls.
