of mobile phones. First, it is uncer tain how to apply the results 
obtained in rats and mice to humans. Second, many of the 
studies that showed increased tumor development used 
animals that had already been treated with cancer-causing 
chemicals, and other studies exposed the animals to the RF 
virtually continuously—up to 22 hours per day.
For the past five years in the United States, the mobile phone 
industry has suppor ted research into the safety of mobile 
phones. This research has resulted in two findings in 
particular that merit additional study:1
In a hospital-based, case-control study, researchers 
looked for an association between mobile phone use and 
either glioma (a type of brain cancer) or acoustic neuroma 
(a benign tumor of the ner ve 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.
When 20 types of glioma were considered separately, 
however, an association was found between mobile phone 
use and one rare type of glioma, neuroepithelliomatous 
tumors. It is possible with multiple comparisons of the 
same sample that this association occurred by chance. 
Moreover, the risk did not increase with how often the 
mobile phone was used, or the length of the calls. In fact, 
the risk actually decreased with cumulative hours of 
mobile phone use. Most cancer causing agents increase 
risk with increased exposure. An ongoing study of brain 
160Additional Health and Safety Information
cancers by the National Cancer Institute is expected to 
bear on the accuracy and repeatability of these results.

Researchers conducted a large batter y of laboratory tests 
to assess the effects of exposure to mobile phone RF on 
genetic material. These included tests for several kinds of 
abnormalities, including mutations, chromosomal 
aberrations, DNA strand breaks, and structural changes in 
the genetic material of blood cells called lymphocytes. 
None of the tests showed any effect of the RF except for 
the micronucleus assay, which detects structural effects 
on the genetic material. The cells in this assay showed 
changes after exposure to simulated cell phone radiation, 
but only after 24 hours of exposure. It is possible that 
exposing the test cells to radiation for this long resulted in 
heating. Since this assay is known to be sensitive to 
heating, heat alone could have caused the abnormalities 
to occur. The data already in the literature on the response 
of the micronucleus assay to RF are conflicting. Thus, 
follow-up research is necessar y.
2
FDA is currently working with government, industry, and 
academic groups to ensure the proper follow-up to these 
industry-funded research findings. Collaboration with the 
Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) in 
particular is expected to lead to FDA providing research 
recommendations and scientific oversight of new CTIA-
funded research based on such recommendations.
Two other studies of interest have been repor ted recently in 
the literature:1
Two groups of 18 people were exposed to simulated 
mobile phone signals under laboratory conditions while  
						

							161Additional Health and Safety Information
they performed cognitive function tests. There were no 
changes in the subjects ability to recall words, numbers, 
or pictures, or in their spatial memor y, but they were able 
to make choices more quickly in one visual test when they 
were exposed to simulated mobile phone signals. This 
was the only change noted among more than 20 variables 
compared.

In a study of 209 brain tumor cases and 425 matched 
controls, there was no increased risk of brain tumors 
associated with mobile phone use. When tumors did exist 
in certain locations, however, they were more likely to be 
on the side of the head where the mobile phone was 
used.
Because this occurred in only a small number of cases, 
the increased likelihood was too small to be statistically 
significant.

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 
continues to work with all par ties, including other federal 
agencies and industry, to assure that research is under taken 
to provide the necessary answers to the outstanding 
questions about the safety of mobile phones.What is known about cases of human cancer that 
have been reported in users of hand-held mobile 
phones?Some people who have used mobile phones have been 
diagnosed with brain cancer. But it is impor tant to understand 
that this type of cancer also occurs among people who have 
not used mobile phones. In fact, brain cancer occurs in the 
162Additional Health and Safety Information
U.S. population at a rate of about 6 new cases per 100,000 
people each year. At that rate, assuming 80 million users of 
mobile phones (a number increasing at a rate of about 1 
million per month), about 4800 cases of brain cancer would be 
expected each year among those 80 million people, whether 
or not they used their phones. Thus it is not possible to tell 
whether any individuals cancer arose because of the phone, 
or whether it would have happened anyway. A key question is 
whether the risk of getting a par ticular form of cancer is 
greater among people who use mobile phones than among 
the rest of the population. One way to answer that question is 
to compare the usage of mobile phones among people with 
brain cancer with the use of mobile phones among 
appropriately matched people without brain cancer. This is 
called a case-control study. The current case-control study of 
brain cancers by the National Cancer Institute, as well as the 
follow-up research to be sponsored by industry, will begin to 
generate this type of information.What is FDAs 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. In such a case, FDA could require the 
manufacturers of mobile 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 at this time, FDA has urged the mobile  
						

							163Additional Health and Safety Information
phone industry to take a number of steps to assure public 
safety. The agency has recommended that the industr y:
•support needed research into possible biological effects 
of RF of the type emitted by mobile phones
•design mobile phones in a way that minimizes any RF 
exposure to the user that is not necessar y for device 
function
•cooperate in providing mobile phone users with the best 
possible information on what is known about possible 
effects of mobile phone use on human health
At the same time, FDA belongs to an interagency working 
group of the federal agencies that have responsibility for 
different aspects of mobile phone safety to ensure a 
coordinated effort at the federal level. These agencies are:
•National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
•Environmental Protection Agency
•Federal Communications Commission
•Occupational Health and Safety Administration
•National Telecommunications and Information 
Administration
The National Institutes of Health also par ticipates in this 
group.In the absence of conclusive information about 
any possible risk, what can concerned 
individuals do?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 people 
164Additional Health and Safety Information
are concerned about avoiding even potential risks, there are 
simple steps they can take to do so. For example, time is a 
key factor in how much exposure a person receives. Those 
persons who spend long periods of time on their hand-held 
mobile phones could consider holding lengthy conversations 
on conventional phones and reser ving the hand-held models 
for shorter conversations or for situations when other types of 
phones are not available.
People who must conduct extended conversations in their 
cars every day could switch to a type of mobile phone that 
places more distance between their bodies and the source of 
the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with 
distance. For example, they could switch to:
•a mobile phone in which the antenna is located outside 
the vehicle
•a hand-held phone with a built-in antenna connected to a 
different antenna mounted on the outside of the car or 
built into a separate package
•a headset with a remote antenna to a mobile phone 
carried at the waist 
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that mobile 
phones are harmful. But if people are concerned about the 
radio frequency energy from these products, taking the simple 
precautions outlined above can reduce any possible risk.Where can I find additional information?For additional information, see the following Web sites:
