needed to provide 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 express cards. Many factors
affect this measurement, such as the angle at which the express card is held, or
which model of express card is used.
What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible health effects of
wireless express card 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 express card 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 express card
users. The CRADA will also include a broad assessment of additional research needs
in the context of the latest research developments around the world.
What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radio frequency energy
from my wireless express card?
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 radio
frequency energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a person
receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless express card will
reduce RF exposure.
