Abstract
In this program, as in all public health research, defining and quanti fying ''dose'' of an agent is a critical step. The primary foci of the dosimetry risk evaluation research program are (1) improved definitio n and quantification of dosage in humans; (2) development of exposure systems for in vivo toxicology studies which are capable of adequately reproducing in experimental animals the level and distribution of ene rgy absorption sustained by humans using wireless communication instru ments; and (3) development of exposure systems for in vitro toxicology studies which produce as uniform an exposure as possible, while maint aining cell temperature as close to 37 degrees C as possible, at the f requencies, modulations, and power levels similar to those employed in cellular technology.
