4. What are the results of the research done already?
Theresearchdonethusfarhasproducedconflictingresults,andmanystudieshave
sufferedfromflawsintheirresearchmethods.Animalexperimentsinvestigatingthe
effectsofRadioFrequency(RF)energyexposurescharacteristicofwirelessdevices
haveyieldedconflictingresultsthatoftencannotberepeatedinotherlaboratories.A
fewanimalstudies,however,havesuggestedthatlowlevelsofRFcouldacceleratethe

5. What research is needed to decide whether RF
exposure from tablets poses a health risk?
Acombinationoflaboratorystudiesandepidemiologicalstudiesofpeopleactually
