“Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best 
possible information on possible effects of wireless phone use on

FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that 
have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated 
efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong to this working 
group:

 

z

 

“National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

 

z

 

“Environmental Protection Agency

 

z

 

“Federal Communications Commission

 

z

 

“Occupational Safety and Health Administration

 

z

 

“National Telecommunications and Information Administration

 

The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working 
group activities, as well.

 

FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal 
Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United 
States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. 
FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for safety questions about 
wireless phones.

 

FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks 
rely upon. While these base stations operate at higher power than do the 
wireless phones themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these 
base stations are typically thousands of times lower than those they can 
get from wireless phones. Base stations are thus not the primary subject 
of the safety questions discussed in this document.

 

What are the results of the research done already?

 

The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many 
studies have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal 
experiments investigating the effects of radio frequency energy (RF) 
exposures characteristic of wireless phones have yielded conflicting 
results that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few animal 
studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate 
the development of cancer in laboratory animals. However, many of the 
studies that showed increased tumor development used animals that had 
been genetically engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals so 
as to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in absence of RF exposure. Other 
studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22 hours per day. These 
conditions are not similar to the conditions under which people use 
wireless phones, so we don't know with certainty what the results of such 
studies mean for human health.

 

Three large epidemiology studies have been published since December
