action if wireless phones are shown to emit radio frequency
energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such
a case, FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless
phones to notify users of the health hazard and to repair,
replace or recall the phones so that the hazard no longer
exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA
regulatory actions, FDA has urged the wireless phone
industry to take a number of steps, including the following:
• Support needed research into possible biological effects
of RF of the type emitted by wireless phones;
• Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF
exposure to the user that is not necessary for device
function; and
• Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the
best possible information on possible effects of wireless
phone use on human health
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal
agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of RF
safety to ensure coordinated efforts at the federal level.
The following agencies belong to this working group:
• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
• Environmental Protection Agency Federal
Communications Commission
• Occupational Safety and Health Administration
• National Telecommunications and Information
Administration
• The National Institutes of Health participates in some
interagency working group activities, as well.
