FDA shar es r egulat ory responsibilit ies for w ireless phones w it h t he Federal

FCC relies on FDA and ot her healt h agencies for safet y quest ions about
wireless phones.
FCC also regulat es t he base st at ions t hat t he wireless phone net works
r ely upon. While t hese base st at ions oper at e at higher pow er t han do t he
w ir eless phones t hem selves, t he RF exposur es t hat people get fr om t hese
base st at ions are t y pically t housands of t im es lower t han t hose t hey can

The r esear ch done t hus far has pr oduced conflict ing r esult s, and m any
st udies have suffered from flaws in t heir research m et hods. Anim al
exper im ent s invest igat ing t he effect s of r adio fr equency ener gy ( RF)
exposures charact erist ic of wireless phones have yielded conflict ing
result s t hat oft en cannot be repeat ed in ot her laborat ories. A few anim al
st udies, however, have suggest ed t hat low levels of RF could accelerat e
t he developm ent of cancer in labor at or y anim als. How ever , m any of t he
st udies t hat showed increased t um or developm ent used anim als t hat had
been genet ically engineer ed or t r eat ed w it h cancer - causing chem icals so
as t o be pr e- disposed t o develop cancer in absence of RF exposur e. Ot her
st udies exposed t he anim als t o RF for up t o 22 hour s per day. These
condit ions ar e not sim ilar t o t he condit ions under which people use
w ireless phones, so w e don't know w it h cert aint y what t he result s of such
