A new study indicates that cell phone radiation might cause male fertility issues Since the introduction of cell phones, some have warned that their radiation might cause all kinds of health issues. Cell phones emit low levels of radio frequency (RF) energy, a type of non-ionizing radiation. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) believes there is no scientific evidence that links exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy from cell phone usage with any health problems at or below the RF exposure limits set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
