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.
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the 
Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in 
the United States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF 
exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for safety 
questions about wireless phones.

FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks 
rely upon. While these base stations operate at higher power than do the 
wireless phones themselves, the RF exposures that people get from 
these base stations are typically thousands of times lower than those they 
can get from wireless phones. Base stations are thus not the primary 
subject of the safety questions discussed in this document.
What is 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 radio frequency 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 
radio frequency 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 radio frequency 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, you could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away 
from your body or use a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna. 
Again, the scientific data do not
 demonstrate that wireless phones are 
harmful. But if you are concerned about the RF exposure from these 
products, you can use measures like those described above to reduce 
your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
What about children using wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless 
phones, including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to 
lower exposure to radio frequency energy (RF), the measures described 
above would apply to children and teenagers using wireless phones. 
Reducing the time of wireless phone use and increasing the distance 
between the user and the RF source will reduce RF exposure.
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised 
that children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For 
example, the government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets 
containing such a recommendation in December 2000. They noted that 
no evidence exists that using a wireless phone causes brain tumors or 
other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit wireless phone use by  
						

							 
92
children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence 
that any health hazard exists.
Do handsfree kits for wireless phones reduce 
risks from exposure to RF emissions?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from 
wireless phones, there is no reason to believe that handsfree kits reduce 
risks. Handsfree kits can be used with wireless phones for convenience 
and comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of RF energy in the 
head because the phone, which is the source of the RF emissions, will not 
be placed against the head. On the other hand, if the phone is mounted 
against the waist or other part of the body during use, then that part of the 
body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. 
are required to meet safety requirements regardless of whether they are 
used against the head or against the body. Either configuration should 
result in compliance with the safety limit.
Do wireless phone accessories that claim to 
shield the head from RF radiation work?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from 
wireless phones, there is no reason to believe that accessories that claim 
to shield the head from those emissions reduce risks. Some products that 
claim to shield the user from RF absorption use special phone cases, 
while others involve nothing more than a metallic accessory attached to 
the phone. Studies have shown that these products generally do not work 
as advertised. Unlike “handsfree” kits, these so-called “shields” may 
interfere with proper operation of the phone. The phone may be forced to 
boost its power to compensate, leading to an increase in RF absorption. 
In February 2002, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) charged two 
companies that sold devices that claimed to protect wireless phone users 
from radiation with making false and unsubstantiated claims. According to 
FTC, these defendants lacked a reasonable basis to substantiate their 
claim.
