Wireless Phones at Home or Office

Description

Overview

Wireless home and office phones, including cordless handsets, expose users to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields. These fields are non-ionizing. Cancer concern is similar to cell phones: duration of close-to-head use, power level, and cumulative exposure. Current evidence does not establish cordless phone use as a direct cancer cause, but reducing unnecessary close-range use is a simple exposure-minimization strategy.
