118Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?The available scientific evidence does not show that any health 
problems are associated with using wireless phones. There is no 
proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe. 
Wireless phones emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in 
the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low 
levels of RF when in the stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of 
RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to 
low level RF that...

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...

ten or more years follow-up may be needed to provide answers 
about some health effects, such as cancer. 
This is because the interval between the time of exposure to a 
cancer-causing agent and the time tumors develop - if they do - 
may be many, many years. The interpretation of epidemiological 
studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF 
exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many 
factors affect this...

122advertised. Unlike hand-free 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...
