13 FDA STATEMET The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Devices and Radiological Health Consumer Update on Mobile Phones FDA has been receiving inquiries about the safety of mobile phones, including cellular phones and PCS phones. The following summarizes what is known—and what remains unknown— about whether these products can pose a hazard to health, and what can be done to minimize any potential risk.

antenna —the primary source of the RF— and the person's head. The exposure to RF from mobile phones in which the antenna is located at greater distances from the user (on the out- side of a car, for example) is drastically lower than that from hand-held phones, because a per- son's RF exposure decreases rapidly with distance from the source.

of the nerve sheath). No statistically significant association was found between mobile phone use and acoustic neuroma. There was also no association between mobile phone use and gliomas when all types of types of gliomas were considered together. It should be noted that the average length of mobile phone exposure in this study was less than three years.

ding research recommendations and scientific oversight of new CTIA funded research based on such recommendations. Two other studies of interest have been reported recently in the literature: 1 Two groups of 18 people were exposed to simulated mobile phone signals under laboratory conditions while they performed cognitive function tests.

In summary, we do not have enough information at this point to assure the public that there are, or are not, any low incident health problems associated with use of mobile phones. FDA conti- nues to work with all parties, including other federal agencies and industry, to assure that rese- arch is undertaken to provide the necessary answers to the outstanding questions about the safety of mobile phones.
Page 66
What is FDA's role concerning the safety of mobile phones? Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation emitting consumer products such as mobile phones before marketing, as it does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to take action if mobile phones are shown to emit radiation at a level that is hazardous to the user.
Page 67
In the absence of conclusive information about any possible risk, what can concerned indivi- duals do? If there is a risk from these products—and at this point we do not know that there is—it is pro- bably very small. But if people are concerned about avoiding even potential risks, there are sim- ple steps they can take to do so.
