Consumer Information About
Radio Frequency Emissions
Your wireless phone, which contains
a radio transmitter and receiver, emits
radio frequency energy during use.
The following consumer information
addresses commonly asked questions
about the health effects of wireless
phones.
Are wireless phones safe?
Scientific research on the subject of
wireless phones and radio frequency
(“RF”) energy has been conducted
worldwide for many years, and
continues. In the United States, the
Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)
and the Federal Communications
Commission (“FCC”) set policies and
procedures for wireless phones. The
FDA issued a website publication on
health issues related to cell phone
usage where it states, “The scientific
community at large … believes that
the weight of scientific evidence
does not show an association
between exposure to radiofrequency
(RF) from cell phones and adverse
health outcomes. Still the scientific
community does recommend
conducting additional research to
address gaps in knowledge. That
research is being conducted around
the world and FDA continues to
monitor developments in this field.
