the manufacturers of wireless phones to notify users of
the health hazard and to repair, replace or recall the
phones so that the hazard no longer exists.Although the
existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory
actions, FDA has urged the wireless phone industry to
take a number of steps, including the following:
• “Support needed research into possible biological
effects of RF of the type emitted by wireless phones;
• “Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any
RF exposure to the user that is not necessary for
device function; and
“Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with
the best possible information on possible effects of
wireless phone use on human health.
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:
• “National Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health
• “Environmental Protection Agency
• “Federal Communications Commission
• “Occupational Safety and Health Administration
• “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.
