What are wireless telephone base stations?
Fixed antennas used for wireless telecommunications are referred to as cellular 
base stations, cell stations, PCS (“Personal Communications Service”) stations 
or telephone transmission towers. These base stations consist of antennas and 
electronic equipment. Because the antennas need to be high in the air, they are 
often located on towers, poles, water tanks, or rooftops. Typical heights for 
freestanding base station towers...

or near the FCC limits for cellular or PCS frequencies an individual would 
essentially have to remain in the main transmitted radio signal (at the height of 
the antenna) and within a few feet from the antenna. This is, of course, very 
unlikely to occur. 
When cellular and PCS antennas are mounted on rooftops, RF levels on that roof 
or on others near by would probably be greater than those typically encountered 
on the ground. However, exposure levels approaching or...

as many facilities as are required, and the licensee is not required to provide the 
FCC with specific location and operating parameters of these facilities.
Information on site specific licensed facilities can be found the “General Menu 
Reports” (GenMen) at http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/genmen/index.hts.
The various FCC Bureaus also publish on at least a weekly basis, bulk extracts 
of their licensing databases. Each licensing database has its own unique file...

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...

What are the results of the research done already?
The research done thus far has produced conf licting results, and many studies 
have suffered from f laws in their research methods. Animal experiments 
investigating the effects of radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic 
of wireless phones have yielded conf licting results that often cannot be 
repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies, however, have suggested 
that low levels of RF could...

An inf luential 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...

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...

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 activities related to RF safety and 
health are presently limited to advisory functions. For example, the EPA now 
chairs an...

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...
