What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term wireless phone refers here to hand–held wireless phones with built–in
antennas, often called "cell," "mobile" or "PCS" phones. These types of wireless
phones can expose the user to measurable radio frequency energy (RF) because of the
short distance between the phone and the user's head. These RF exposures are limited
by Federal Communications Commission safety guidelines that were developed with the
advice of FDA and other federal health and safety agencies.
When the phone is located at greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF is
drastically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly with increasing
distance from the source. The so–called "cordless phones," which have a base unit
connected to the telephone wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power levels
and thus produce RF exposures well within the FCC's compliance limits.
Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated
