FDA Consumer
Update

Administration's Center for Devices
and Radiological Health Consumer
Update on Mobile Phones:
1. Do wireless phones pose a health
hazard?
The available scientific evidence does
not show that any health problems are
associated with using wireless
phones. There is no proof, however,
that wireless phones are absolutely
safe. Wireless phones emit low levels
of Radio Frequency (RF) energy in the
microwave range while being used.
They also emit very low levels of RF
when in standby mode. Whereas high
levels of RF can produce health
effects (by heating tissue), exposure to
low level RF that does not produce
heating effects causes no known
adverse health effects. Many studies
of low level RF exposures have not
found any biological effects. Some
studies have suggested that some
biological effects may occur, but such
findings have not been confirmed by
additional research. In some cases,
other researchers have had difficulty
in reproducing those studies, or in
determining the reasons for
inconsistent results.
2. What is the FDA's role concerning
the safety of wireless phones?
Under the law, the FDA does not
review the safety of radiation-emitting
consumer products such as wireless
phones before they can be sold, as it
does with new drugs or medical
