ID Number		1903
Study Type		Epidemiology
Model		Epidemiological exposure assessment for mobile phone use
Details		RF power output from 900 MHz (GSM) mobile phones modified to capture information on transmit power level was compared during a series of 1 or 5 minute calls (as assessed from base station records) made indoors vs. outdoors, in urban vs. rural areas, and in a moving vehicle vs. stationary. In addition, data captured from network operator records was used to follow a parger number of individuals and corroborate the modified handset data. The authors report that the highest power levels (for GSM-900 = 250 mW average, GSM-1800 MHz - 125 mW average) were used for the majority of the time, and overall higher power levels were seen during rural and indoor phone use (as opposed to urban or outdoor use).
