Consumer Update on Mobile Phones
(Published by U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Center for Devices and Radiological 
Health, October 20, 1999.)
FDA has been receiving inquiries about the safety of mobile phones, including cellular 
phones and PCS phones. The following summarizes what is known—and what remains 
unknown—about whether these products can pose a hazard to health, and what can be 
done to minimize any potential risk. This information may be used to respond to 
questions.
Why the concern?
Mobile phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (i.e., radiofrequency radiation) 
in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels of 
radiofrequency energy (RF), considered non-significant, when in the stand-by mode. It is 
well known that high levels of RF can produce biological damage through heating effects 
(this is how your microwave oven is able to cook food). However, it is not known 
whether, to what extent, or through what mechanism, lower levels of RF might cause 
adverse health effects as well. Although some research has been done to address these 
questions, no clear picture of the biological effects of this type of radiation has emerged 
to date. Thus, the available science does not allow us to conclude that mobile phones are 
absolutely safe, or that they are unsafe. However, the available scientific evidence does 
not demonstrate any adverse health effects associated with the use of mobile phones.
What kind of phones are in question?
Questions have been raised about hand-held mobile phones, the kind that have a built-in 
antenna that is positioned close to the user’s head during normal telephone conversation.
These types of mobile phones are of concern because of the short distance between the 
phone’s antenna — the primary source of the RF — and the person’s head. The exposure 
to RF from mobile phones in which the antenna is located at greater distances from the 
user (on the outside of a car, for example) is drastically lower than that from hand-held 
phones, because a person’s RF exposure decreases rapidly with distance from the source. 
The safety of so-called “cordless phones”, which have a base unit connected to the 
telephone wiring in a house and which operate at far lower power levels and frequencies, 
has not been questioned. 
How much evidence is there that handheld mobile 
phones might be harmful? 
Briefly, there is not enough evidence to know for sure, either way; however, research 
efforts are on-going. The existing scientific evidence is conflicting and many of the

studies that have been done to date have suffered from flaws in their research methods. 
Animal experiments investigating the effects of RF exposures characteristic of mobile 
phones have yielded conflicting results. A few animal studies, however, have suggested 
that low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory animals. 
In one study, mice genetically altered to be predisposed to developing one type of cancer 
developed more than twice as many such cancers when they were exposed to RF energy 
compared to controls. There is much uncertainty among scientists about whether results 
obtained from animal studies apply to the use of mobile phones. First, it is uncertain 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 supported 
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 nerve 
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 
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 cancers by the National Cancer 
Institute is expected to bear on the accuracy and repeatability of these results.
12 Researchers conducted a large battery of laboratory tests to assess the effect 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 from 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 necessary.
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 reported recently in the literature:
1 Two groups of 18 people were exposed to simulated mobile phone signals under laboratory 
conditions while they performed cognitive function test. There were no changes in the subjects’ 
ability to recall words, numbers, or pictures, or in their spatial memory, 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.
