Studies looking at the impact of cell phone RF on humans are fairly common, but the results of many of these studies are not conclusive. A study by the TNO Physics and Electronics Laboratory in The Netherlands performed the measurements under controlled electromagnetic conditions inside a sealed semi-anechoic chamber.

There have been many studies concerning the impact of cell phone use on health but so far the results have been mixed
