No specific harm has been demonstrated, even though wireless transmission has been included by [[International Agency for Research on Cancer|IARC]] in the possible [[carcinogen]] list. Maximum power output from a Bluetooth radio is 100{{nbsp}}[[Milliwatt#Multiples|mW]] for Class{{nbsp}}1, 2.5{{nbsp}}mW for Class{{nbsp}}2, and 1{{nbsp}}mW for Class{{nbsp}}3 devices. Even the maximum power output of Class{{nbsp}}1 is a lower level than the lowest-powered mobile phones.<ref>{{cite web
