FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with groups of 
investigators around the world to ensure that high priority animal studies are 
conducted to address important questions about the effects of exposure to radio 
frequency energy (RF).

 

FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization international 
Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996. An influential result 
of this work has been the development of a detailed agenda of research needs that 
has driven the establishment of new research programs around the world. The 
Project has also helped develop a series of public information documents on EMF 
issues.

 

FDA and Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal 
Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do research on 
wireless phone safety. FDA provides the scientific oversight, obtaining input from 
experts in government, industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-funded research 
is conducted through contracts to independent investigators. The initial research will 
include both laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will 
also include a broad assessment of additional research needs in the context of the 
latest research developments around the world.

 

What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radio frequency energy from 
my wireless phone?

 

If there is a risk from these products - and at this point we do not know that there is - 
it is probably very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding even potential risks, 
you can take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure to radio frequency 
energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a person receives, 
reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.

 

 

“If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone every day, 
you could place more distance between your body and the source of the RF, 
since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, 
you could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from your body.

 

Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless phones are harmful. But if 
you are concerned about the RF exposure from these products, you can use 
measures like those described above to reduce your RF exposure from wireless 
phone use.

 

What about children using wireless phones?

 

The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones, 
including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower exposure to radio 
frequency energy (RF), the measures described above would apply to children and 
teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the time of wireless phone use and 
increasing the distance between the user and the RF source will reduce RF 
exposure.

 

Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that children 
be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For example, the government in 
the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a recommendation in 
December 2000. They noted that no evidence exists that using a wireless phone 
causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit wireless phone 
use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence 
that any health hazard exists. 

 

Do hands-free kits for wireless phones reduce risks from exposure to RF
