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

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

community has supported additional research to address gaps in knowledge.

Some of these studies are described below.
