User.Guide.Tarpon.book Page 94 Thursday, April 26, 2001 2:23 PM What kinds of phones are in question? Questions have been raised about hand-held mobile phones, the kind that have a built-in antenna that is positioned close to the user's head during normal telephone conversation. These types of mobile phones are of concern because of the short distance between the phone's antenna—the primary source of the RF— and the person's head.

Second, many of the studies that showed increased tumor development used animals that had already been treated with cancer-causing chemicals, and other studies exposed the animals to the RF virtually continuously—up to 22 hours per day.
User.Guide.Tarpon.book Page 96 Thursday, April 26, 2001 2:23 PM National Cancer Institute is expected to bear on the accuracy and repeatability of these results.1 2 Researchers conducted a large battery of laboratory tests to assess the effects of exposure to mobile phone RF on genetic material. These included tests for several kinds of abnormalities, including mutations, chromosomal aberrations, DNA strand breaks, and structural changes in the genetic material of blood cells called lymphocytes.
