Is it true that mobile phones emit non-ionizing radio-frequency radiation while in use?
Unclear. Several peer-reviewed reviews and reference works state in passing that mobile phones emit radiofrequency electromagnetic fields, a form of non-ionizing radiation, but each mentions this only as background to other research questions rather than as the finding under study. No retrieved item is a dedicated source establishing the emission claim at full strength.
