exposure decreases rapidly with increasing distance from 
the source. The so-called “cordless phones,” which have a 
base unit connected to the telephone wiring in a house, 
typically  operate  at  far  lower  power  levels,  and  thus 
produce RF exposures well within the FCC’s compliance 
limits.

Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?

The  available  scientific  evidence  does  not  show  that 
any health problems are associated with using wireless 
phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless phones 
are  absolutely  safe.  Wireless  phones  emit  low  levels  of 
radio  frequency  energy  (RF)  in  the  microwave  range 
while  being  used. They  also  emit  very  low  levels  of  RF 
when in the stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF can 
produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low 
level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no 
known adverse health effects. Many studies of low level 
RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some 
studies  have  suggested  that  some  biological  effects 
may occur, but such findings have not been confirmed 
by additional research. In some cases, other researchers 

have  had  difficulty  in  reproducing  those  studies,  or  in 
determining the reasons for inconsistent results.

What is FDA’s role concerning the safety of wireless 

phones?

Under  the  law,  FDA  does  not  review  the  safety  of 
radiation-emitting  consumer  products  such  as  wireless 
phones before they can be sold, as it does with new drugs 
or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to 
take  action  if  wireless  phones  are  shown  to  emit  radio 
frequency energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to the 
user. In such a case, FDA could require 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;

Health and safety information

• “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.
