Wireless Phones and Health, 1998
Scientific Progress

This edited volume features contributions that were originally presented at a State of the Science Colloquium sponsored by the Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR) and the International Committee on Wireless Communication Research. Contributions report on the public health impact of wireless communication technologies, including radiofrequency (RF)dosimetry, RF epidemiology, RF toxicology, and clinical and in vitro studies on interference between these technologies and medical devices. WTR has collected and edited papers from each of the presenters, and collected updates to be appended to the original papers.
