EMF issues. The FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research and
Development Agreement (CRADA) to conduct research on wireless phone safety. The FDA provides the scientific oversight, obtaining
input from experts in government, industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts with
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.
6. What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from wireless phones poses a health risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people actually using wireless phones would provide some of the
vital data. Lifetime animal exposure studies could be completed in a few years. However, very large numbers of animals would be
needed to provide reliable proof of a cancer-promoting effect, if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data that is directly
applicable to human populations, but ten or more years of follow-up research may be needed to provide answers about certain health
effects, such as cancer.
This is due to the interval between exposure time to a cancer-causing agent and the rate for which tumors develop - if they do. This
could take several years into the future. The interpretation of epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring actual
RF exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many factors affect this measurement, such as the angle at which the phone is
held, or which model of phone is used.
