23. 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 radiofrequency 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 leaf lets 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 children was 
strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence 
that any health hazard exists.
24. What about wireless phone interference with medical 
equipment?
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact 
with some electronic devices. For this reason, FDA helped 
develop a detailed test method to measure electromagnetic 
interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and 
defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test method is now 
part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the 
Advancement of Medical instrumentation (AAMI). The final 
draft, a joint effort by FDA, medical device manufacturers, and 
many other groups, was completed in late 2000. This standard 
will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and 
defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI.
FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from hand-held 
wireless phones and helped develop a voluntary standard 
sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic 
Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test methods and 
performance requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones 
so that no interference occurs when a person uses a 
“compatible” phone and a “compatible” hearing aid at the same 
time. This standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000.
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for 
possible interactions with other medical devices. Should  
						

							Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
4A: Safety 125
harmful interference be found to occur, FDA will conduct 
testing to assess the interference and work to resolve 
 
the problem.
25. Which other federal agencies have responsibilities related to 
potential RF health effects?
Certain agencies in the Federal Government have been involved 
in monitoring, researching or regulating issues related to 
human exposure to RF radiation. These agencies include the 
Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA), the Occupational Safety and Health 
Administration (OSHA), the National Institute for Occupational 
Safety and Health (NIOSH), the National Telecommunications 
and Information Administration (NTIA) and the Department of 
Defense (DOD).
By authority of the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 
1968, the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of 
the FDA develops performance standards for the emission of 
radiation from electronic products including X-ray equipment, 
other medical devices, television sets, microwave ovens, laser 
products and sunlamps. The CDRH established a product 
performance standard for microwave ovens in 1971 limiting the 
amount of RF leakage from ovens. However, the CDRH has not 
adopted performance standards for other RF-emitting products. 
The FDA is, however, the lead federal health agency in 
monitoring the latest research developments and advising other 
agencies with respect to the safety of RF-emitting products used 
by the public, such as cellular and PCS phones.
The FDAs microwave oven standard is an emission standard (as 
opposed to an exposure standard) that allows specific levels of 
microwave leakage (measured at five centimeters from the oven 
surface). The standard also requires ovens to have two 
independent interlock systems that prevent the oven from 
generating microwaves the moment that the latch is released or 
the door of the oven is opened. The FDA has stated that ovens 
that meet its standards and are used according to the 
manufacturers recommendations are safe for consumer and 
industrial use. More information is available from: 
 
www.fda.gov/cdrh.
The EPA has, in the past, considered developing federal 
guidelines for public exposure to RF radiation. However, EPA  
						

							Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
4A: Safety 126
activities related to RF safety and health are presently limited to 
advisory functions. For example, the EPA now chairs an Inter-
agency Radiofrequency Working Group, which coordinates RF 
health-related activities among the various federal agencies with 
health or regulatory responsibilities in this area.
OSHA is responsible for protecting workers from exposure to 
hazardous chemical and physical agents. In 1971, OSHA issued 
a protection guide for exposure of workers to RF radiation [29 
CFR 1910.97]. However, this guide was later ruled to be only 
advisory and not mandatory. Moreover, it was based on an 
earlier RF exposure standard that has now been revised. At the 
present time, OSHA uses the IEEE and/or FCC exposure 
guidelines for enforcement purposes under OSHAs general 
duty clause (for more information see: 
 
http://www.osha-slc.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html).
NIOSH is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human 
Services. It conducts research and investigations into issues 
related to occupational exposure to chemical and physical 
agents. NIOSH has, in the past, undertaken to develop RF 
exposure guidelines for workers, but final guidelines were 
never adopted by the agency. NIOSH conducts safety-related 
 
RF studies through its Physical Agents Effects Branch in 
Cincinnati, Ohio.
The NTIA is an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce 
and is responsible for authorizing Federal Government use of 
the RF electromagnetic spectrum. Like the FCC, the NTIA also 
has NEPA responsibilities and has considered adopting 
guidelines for evaluating RF exposure from U.S. Government 
transmitters such as radar and military facilities.
The Department of Defense (DOD) has conducted research on 
the biological effects of RF energy for a number of years. This 
research is now conducted primarily at the U.S. Air Force 
Research Laboratory located at Brooks Air Force Base, Texas. 
The DOD Web site for RF biological effects information is listed 
with other sites in conjunction with a question on other 
sources of information, below.
26. Who funds and carries out research on the biological effects of 
RF energy?
Research into possible biological effects of RF energy is carried 
out in laboratories in the United States and around the world. In  
						

							Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
4A: Safety 127
the U.S., most research has been funded by the Department of 
Defense, due to the extensive military use of RF equipment 
such as radar and high-powered radio transmitters. In addition, 
some federal agencies responsible for health and safety, such as 
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Food 
and Drug Administration (FDA), have sponsored and conducted 
research in this area. At the present time, most of the non-
militar y research on biological effects of RF energy in the U.S. is 
being funded by industry organizations. More research is being 
carried out overseas, particularly in Europe.
In 1996, the World Health Organization (WHO) established the 
International EMF Project to review the scientific literature and 
work towards resolution of health concerns over the use of RF 
technology. WHO maintains a Web site that provides extensive 
information on this project and about RF biological effects and 
research (
www.who.ch/peh-emf).
FDA, EPA and other US government agencies responsible for 
public health and safety have worked together and in 
connection with WHO to monitor developments and identify 
research needs related to RF biological effects.
