the genetic material. The cells in this assay showed changes
after exposure to simulated cell phone radiation, but only
after 24 hours of exposure. It is possible that exposing the
test cells to radiation for this long resulted in heating. Since
this assay is known to be sensitive to heating, heat alone
could have caused the abnormalities to occur. The data
already in the literature on the response of the
micronucleus assay to RF are conflicting. Thus, follow-up
research is necessary.

FDA is currently working with government, industry, and
academic groups to ensure the proper follow-up to these
industry-funded research findings. Collaboration with the
Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association
(CTIA) in particular is expected to lead to FDA providing
research recommendations and scientific oversight of new
CTIA-funded research based on such recommendations.
Two other studies of interest have been reported recently in the
literature:
1.
Two groups of 18 people were exposed to simulated mobile
phone signals under laboratory conditions while they
performed cognitive function tests. There were no changes
in the subjects’ ability to recall words, numbers, or
pictures, or in their spatial memory, but they were able to
make choices more quickly in one visual test when they
were exposed to simulated mobile phone signals. This was
the only change noted among more than 20 variables
compared.

2.
In a study of 209 brain tumor cases and 425 matched
controls, there was no increased risk of brain tumors
associated with mobile phone use. When tumors did exist
in certain locations, however, they were more likely to be
on the side of the head where the mobile phone was used.
Because this occurred in only a small number of cases, the
