What is the FDA doing to find out more about the
possible health effects of wireless phone RF?
FDA is working with the U.S. National 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 radiofrequency energy (RF). FDA has been a
leading participant in the World Health Organization
International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since
its inception in 1996. An influential result of this work has
been the development of a detailed agenda of research
needs that has driven the establishment of new research
programs around the world. The Project has also helped
develop a series of public information documents on EMF
issues. FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications &
Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative
Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do
research on wireless phone safety. FDA provides the
scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts in
government, industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-
funded research is conducted through contracts to
independent investigators. The initial research will include
both laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone
users. The CRADA will also include a broad assessment of
additional research needs in the context of the latest
research developments around the world.
What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to
radiofrequency energy from my wireless phone?
If there is a risk from these products--and at this point we
do not know that there is--it is probably very small. But if
you are concerned about avoiding even potential risks,
you can take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure
to radiofrequency energy (RF). Since time is a key factor
in how much exposure a person receives, reducing the
amount of time spent using a wireless phone will reduce
RF exposure.
If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless
phone every day, you could place more distance between
your body and the source of the RF, since the exposure
level drops off dramatically with distance. For example,
