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 results of such studies mean for human health.

What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible health effects of wireless phone RF? FDA is working with the U.S. 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).
