The "majority of studies published have failed to show an association between exposure to radio-frequency from a cell phone and health problems," states the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on its website. But concerns are high enough that the Senate on Sept. 14 held hearings - led by Democratic Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, a brain-cancer survivor - to examine the subject.
