consumer information addresses commonly asked questions about

Scientifi c 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 scientifi c
community at large ... believes that the weight of scientifi c
evidence does not show an association between exposure
to radiofrequency (RF) from cell phones and adverse health
outcomes. Still the scientifi c 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 fi eld. You can access the joint
FDA/FCC website at http://www.fda.gov (under "c"in the subject
index, select Cell Phones > Research). You can also contact the
FDA toll-free at (888) 463-6332 or (888) INFO-FDA. In June 2000,
