Health Effects From Cellular Telephone Use

For regulatory permitting of cell telephone base-station antennas, Gradient evaluated whether cellular telephones increase cancer risk. Gradient's analyses examined the scientific studies regarding human health effects ascribed to radiofrequency (RF) waves from cellular telephones and base-station antennas. We performed literature reviews, medical record reviews, and exposure and dosimetry analyses to determine the degree to which health risks arise from exposure to non-ionizing RF waves. Gradient submitted summary reports on the likelihood of health effects and helped develop risk communication strategies.
