What are the results of the research done already?

The  research  done  thus  far  has  produced  conflicting 
results, and many studies have suffered from flaws in their 
research  methods.  Animal  experiments  investigating 
the  effects  of  radio  frequency  energy  (RF)  exposures 
characteristic of wireless phones have yielded conflicting 
results that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories. 
A few animal studies, however, have suggested that low 
levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer 
in laboratory animals. However, many of the studies that 
showed  increased  tumor  development  used  animals 
that  had  been  genetically  engineered  or  treated  with 
cancer-causing  chemicals  so  as  to  be  pre-disposed  to 
develop cancer in absence of RF exposure. Other studies 
exposed  the  animals  to  RF  for  up  to  22  hours  per  day. 
These conditions are not similar to the conditions under 
which  people  use  wireless  phones,  so  we  don’t  know 
with certainty what the results of such studies mean for 
human health.
Three large epidemiology studies have been published 
since  December  2000.  Between  them,  the  studies 

investigated  any  possible  association  between  the  use 
of  wireless  phones  and  primary  brain  cancer,  glioma, 
meningioma,  or  acoustic  neuroma,  tumors  of  the  brain 
or salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers. None of the 
studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful health 
effects  from  wireless  phones  RF  exposures.  However, 
none  of  the  studies  can  answer  questions  about  long-
term exposures, since the average period of phone use in 
these studies was around three years.

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  data  that  are  needed.  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’ follow-up may be needed to provide 

Health and safety information

answers about some health effects, such as cancer. This 
is because the interval between the time of exposure to 
a cancer-causing agent and the time tumors develop - if 
they  do  -  may  be  many,  many  years. 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.

What  is  FDA  doing  to  find  out  more  about  the 

possible health effects of wireless phone RF?

FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program 
and  with  groups  of  investigators  around  the  world  to 
ensure  that  high  priority  animal  studies  are  conducted 
to  address  important  questions  about  the  effects  of 
exposure to radio frequency energy (RF).
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  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.
