FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health
Organization International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)
Project since its inception in 1996. An influential result of
this work has been the development of a detailed agenda of
research needs that has driven the establishment of new
research programs around the world. The Project has also
helped develop a series of public information documents on
EMF issues.
FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet
Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research
and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do research on
wireless phone safety. FDA provides the scientific
oversight, obtaining input from experts in government,
industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-funded
research is conducted through contracts to 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.

If there is a risk from these products--and at this point we do
not know that there is--it is probably very small. But if you
are concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can
take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure to
radiofrequency energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in
how much exposure a person receives, reducing the
amount of time spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF
exposure.
If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless
phone every day, you could place more distance between
your body and the source of the RF, since the exposure
level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, you
could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away
from your body or use a wireless phone connected to a
remote antenna.
Again, the scientific data
demonstrate that wireless
phones are harmful. But if you are concerned about the RF
exposure from these products, you can use measures like
those described above to reduce your RF exposure from
wireless phone use.

The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of
wireless phones, including children and teenagers. If you
want to take steps to lower exposure to radiofrequency
energy (RF), the measures described above would apply to
children and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing
the time of wireless phone use and increasing the distance
between the user and the RF source will reduce RF
exposure.
Some groups sponsored by other national governments
have advised that children be discouraged from using
wireless phones at all.

Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF
emissions from wireless phones, there is no reason to
believe that handsfree kits reduce risks. Hands-free kits can
be used with wireless phones for convenience and comfort.
These systems reduce the absorption of RF energy in the
head because the phone, which is the source of the RF
emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other
hand, if the phone is mounted against the waist or other part
of the body during use, then that part of the body will absorb
more RF energy.
