Epidemiologists are now embarking on the evaluation of the hypothesis that exposure to radio frequency energy from low-power wireless communication devices, such as portable cellular telephones, causes brain cancer and other adverse health outcomes. Even in the laboratory, exposures from radio frequency sources are difficult to quantify; their measurement in large populations for epidemiologic study is challenging. In this paper, we outline the nature and magnitude of these exposures and discuss the prospects for obtaining useful measures of exposure for epidemiologic research.
接触来自低功率无线通信设备（如便携式移动电话）的射频能量会导致脑癌和其他不良健康后果。即使在实验室中，来自射频源的暴露也难以量化；在大量人群中进行测量以用于流行病学研究具有挑战性。在本文中，我们概述了这些暴露的性质和程度，并讨论了获得用于流行病学研究的有用暴露测量值的前景。
