Your wireless handheld portable telephone
is
a
low
power radio
transmitter and receiver. When
it
is ON,
it
receives and also
sends out radio frequency
(RF)
signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions
(FCC)
adopted
RF
exposure guidelines with safety levels for
hand
-
held wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with
the safety standards previously set by both
U.S.
and interna
-
tional standards bodies:
ANSIC95.
I
(1992)'
NCRP
Report 86 (1986)
ICIMIRP(
1996)
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic
evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example,
over
120
scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities,
government health agencies, and industry reviewed the avail
-
able body of research to develop the
ANSI
Standard (C95.1).
Nevertheless, we recommend that you use
a
handsfree kit with
your phone (such as an earpiece or headset) to avoid potential
exposure to
RF
energy.

5:
Troubleshooting
FDA has been receiving inquiries about the safety of mobile
phones, including cellular phones and
PCS
phones. The follow
-
ing 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 informa
-
tion may be used to respond to questions.
Why the concern?
Mobile phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (i.e.,
radio frequency radiation) in the microwave range while being
used. They also emit very low levels of radio frequency energy
(RF),
considered non
-
significant, when in the stand
-
by mode.
It
is well known that high levels of
RF
can produce biological dam
-
age 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 kinds
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

When
20
types of glioma were considered separately, how
-
ever, 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 Insti

Researchers conducted
a
large battery of laboratory tests to
assess the effects of exposure to mobile phone
RF
on genetic
material. These included tests for several kinds of abnormali
-
ties, 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 of 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

How
much evidence
is
there that hand
-
held 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 develop
-
ment of cancer in laboratory animals.
In
one study, mice geneti
-
cally 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:
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 acous
-
tic
neuroma. There was also no association between mobile
phone use and gliomas when
all
types of types of gliomas
were considered together.
It
should be noted
that
the aver
-
age length of mobile phone exposure in this study was less
than three years.

this type of information.
What is
FDA's
role concerning the safety of mobile
phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation
-
emit
-
ting consumer products such as mobile phones before market
-
ing,
as
it
does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the
agency has authority to take action
if
mobile phones are shown
to emit radiation
at
a
level that
is
hazardous to the user. In such
a
case, FDA could require the manufacturers of mobile 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 regula
-
tory actions
at
this time, FDA has urged the mobile phone indus
-
try to take
a
number of steps to assure public safety. The
agency has recommended that the industry:
support needed research into possible biological effects of
RF of the type emitted by mobile phones;
design mobile phones in
a
way that minimizes any
RF
exposure to the user that is not necessary for device func
-
tion
;
and
cooperate in providing mobile phone users with the best
possible information on what
is
known about possible
effects of mobile phone use on human health.
At
the same time, FDA belongs to an interagency working group
of the federal agencies that have responsibility for different
aspects of mobile phone safety to ensure
a
coordinated effort
at
the federal level. These agencies are:

formed cognitive function tests. 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?
In
a
study of
209
brain tumor cases and 425 matched con
-
trols, there was no increased risk
of
brain tumors associated
with mobile phone use. When tumors did exist in certain
locations, however, they were more likely to be on the side of
the head where the mobile phone was used. Because this
occurred in only
a
small number of cases, the increased like
-
lihood was too small to be statistically significant!
In summary, we do not have enough information
at
this point to
assure the public that there are, or are not, any low incident
health problems associated with use of mobile phones. FDA con
-
tinues to work with
all
parties, including other federal agencies
and industry, to assure that research
is
undertaken to provide
the necessary answers to the outstanding questions about the
safety of mobile phones.
What
is
known about cases
of
human cancer that have
been reported in users
of
hand
-
held mobile phones?
Some people who have used mobile phones have been diag
-
nosed with brain cancer. But
it
is
important to understand that
this type of cancer also occurs among people who have not used
mobile phones. In
fact,
brain cancer occurs in the
U.S.
popula
-
tion
at
a
rate of about
6
new cases per
100,000
people each
year.
At
that rate, assuming 80 million users of mobile phones
(a
number increasing at
a
rate of about
I
million per month), about
4800 cases of brain cancer would be expected each year among
those 80 million people, whether or not they used their phones.
Thus
it
is
not possible to tell whether any individual's cancer
arose because of the phone, or whether
it
would have happened
anyway.
A
key question
is
whether the risk of getting
a
particular
form of cancer is greater among people who use mobile phones
than
among the rest of the population. One way to answer that
question
is
to compare the usage of mobile phones among peo
-
ple with brain cancer with the use of mobile phones among

In the absence of conclusive information about any possible risk,
what can concerned individuals do?
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
people
are concerned about avoiding even potential risks, there are
simple steps they can take to do
so.
For example, time
is
a
key
factor in how much exposure
a
person receives. Those persons
who spend long periods of time on their hand
-
held mobile
phones could consider holding lengthy conversations on conven
-
tional phones and reserving the hand
-
held models for shorter
conversations
or
for situations when other types of phones are
not available.
People who must conduct extended conversations in their cars
every day could switch to
a
type of mobile phone that places
more distance between their bodies and the source of the
RF,
since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For
example, they could switch to:
a mobile phone in which the antenna is located outside the
ve hicle,
a
hand
-
held phone with
a
built
-
in antenna connected to
a
different antenna mounted on the outside of the car or
built into a separate package, or
a
headset with
a
remote antenna to
a
mobile phone carried
at
the waist.
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that mobile phones
are harmful. But
if
people are concerned about the radiofre
-
quency energy from these products, taking the simple precau
-
tions outlined above can reduce any possible risk.
