The emission levels are as low as emitted by a radio or Television. The myth is no more alive concerning radiofrequency fields, the balance of evidence to date suggests that exposure to low level RF fields (such as those emitted by mobile phones and their base stations) does not cause adverse health effects. Several recent epidemiological studies of mobile phone users found no convincing evidence of increased brain cancer risk. RF exposure is far higher for mobile phone users than for those living near cellular base stations. Apart from infrequent signals used to maintain links with nearby base stations, handsets transmit RF energy only while a call is being made. However, base stations are continuously transmitting signals, although the levels to which the public are exposed are extremely small, even if they live nearby. In view of the widespread growth and evolution of the technology, the degree of scientific uncertainty and exposure as well as the level of public apprehension, there is a clear and emergent need of not only scientific studies but its clear communication with the public as well.
