Consumer Information About Radio Frequency
Emissions
Your wireless phone, which contains a radio transmitter
and receiver, emits radio frequency energy during use. The
following consumer information addresses commonly asked
questions about the health effects of wireless phones.
Are wireless phones safe?
Scientific 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 scientific
community at large ... believes that the weight of scientific
evidence does not show an association between exposure
to radiofrequency (RF) from cell phones and adverse health
outcomes. Still the scientific 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 field. 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, the FDA entered into a
cooperative research and development agreement through
which additional scientific research is being conducted. The
FCC issued its own website publication stating that "there is
no scientific evidence that proves that wireless phone usage
can lead to cancer or a variety of other problems, including
headaches, dizziness or memory loss. " This publication is
available at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety or through the FCC
at (888) 225-5322 or (888) CALL-FCC.
