1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that
any health problems are associated with using wireless
16
phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless phones
are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of
radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range
while being used. They also emit very low levels of RF
when in the 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
