Description 1 online resource (xii, 66 pages) : GIF, PDF Contents Introduction -- Dosimetry and exposure -- Epidemiology -- Human laboratory studies -- Mechanisms -- In vivo and in vitro studies of studies in experimental model systems Summary In recent years there has been a rapid increase in the use of wireless communications devices and a great deal of research has been carried out to investigate possible biological or human health effects resulting from their use. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration asked the National Research Council to organize a workshop to identify research needs and gaps in knowledge in the areas of dosimetry and exposure, epidemiology, human laboratory studies, mechanisms, and animal and cell biology. The workshop did not include the evaluation of health effects or the generation of recommendations relating to how identified research needs should be met. Some needs and gaps identified at the workshop include: (1) characterization of exposures from wireless devices and RF base station antennas in juveniles, children, fetuses, and pregnant women and (2) evaluation of devices that use newer technologies (e.g., texting, web-surfing) Notes Report based on presentations and discussions from a workshop of national and international experts to identify research needs and gaps in knowledge of biological effects and adverse health outcomes of exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy from wireless communications devices Title from electronic title page (viewed February 11, 2008) Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences and the Department of Health and Human Services HHSF223200710005C Subject Cell phones -- Health aspects -- Congresses Radio waves -- Health aspects -- Congresses Telephone.
