It can permanently damage biological tissues
including DNA, the genetic material.
The energy levels associated with radio
frequency energy, including both radio waves
and microwaves, are not great 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

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
