energy during use. The following consumer information addresses commonly asked
questions about the health effects of wireless phones.

FDA Consumer Update
TheU.S.FoodandDrugAdministration’sCenterforDevicesandRadiologicalHealth
ConsumerUpdateonMobilePhones:
1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
Theavailablescientificevidencedoesnotshowthatanyhealthproblemsareassociated
withusingwirelessphones.Thereisnoproof,however,thatwirelessphonesareabsolutely
safe.WirelessphonesemitlowlevelsofRadioFrequency(RF)energyinthemicrowave
rangewhilebeingused.TheyalsoemitverylowlevelsofRFwheninstandbymode.
WhereashighlevelsofRFcanproducehealtheffects(byheatingtissue),exposuretolow
levelRFthatdoesnotproduceheatingeffectscausesnoknownadversehealtheffects.
ManystudiesoflowlevelRFexposureshavenotfoundanybiologicaleffects.Somestudies
havesuggestedthatsomebiologicaleffectsmayoccur,butsuchfindingshavenotbeen
confirmedbyadditionalresearch.Insomecases,otherresearchershavehaddifficultyin
reproducingthosestudies,orindeterminingthereasonsforinconsistentresults.
2. What is the FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless phones?
Underthelaw,theFDAdoesnotreviewthesafetyofradiation-emittingconsumerproducts
suchaswirelessphonesbeforetheycanbesold,asitdoeswithnewdrugsormedical

AlthoughtheexistingscientificdatadonotjustifyFDAregulatoryactions,theFDAhas
urgedthewirelessphoneindustrytotakeanumberofsteps,includingthefollowing:

wirelessphones;

TheFDAsharesregulatoryresponsibilitiesforwirelessphoneswiththeFederal
CommunicationsCommission(FCC).AllphonesthataresoldintheUnitedStatesmust
complywithFCCsafetyguidelinesthatlimitRFexposure.TheFCCreliesontheFDAand
otherhealthagenciesforsafetyquestionsaboutwirelessphones.
TheFCCalsoregulatesthebasestationsthatthewirelessphonenetworksrelyupon.While
thesebasestationsoperateathigherpowerthandothewirelessphonesthemselves,the
RFexposuresthatpeoplegetfromthesebasestationsaretypicallythousandsoftimes
lowerthanthosetheycangetfromwirelessphones.Basestationsarethusnotthesubject
ofthesafetyquestionsdiscussedinthisdocument.
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
Theterm“wirelessphone”refersheretohandheldwirelessphoneswithbuilt-inantennas,
oftencalled“cell”,“mobile”,or“PCS”phones.Thesetypesofwirelessphonescanexpose
theusertomeasurableRadioFrequency(RF)energybecauseoftheshortdistancebetween
thephoneandtheuser’shead.
TheseRFexposuresarelimitedbyFCCsafetyguidelinesthatweredevelopedwiththe
adviceoftheFDAandotherfederalhealthandsafetyagencies.Whenthephoneis
locatedatgreaterdistancesfromtheuser,theexposuretoRFisdrasticallylowerbecause
aperson'sRFexposuredecreasesrapidlywithincreasingdistancefromthesource.The
so-called“cordlessphones,”whichhaveabaseunitconnectedtothetelephonewiringina

house,typicallyoperateatfarlowerpowerlevels,andthusproduceRFexposuresfarbelow
theFCCsafetylimits.
4. What are the results of the research done already?
Theresearchdonethusfarhasproducedconflictingresults,andmanystudieshavesuffered
fromflawsintheirresearchmethods.Animalexperimentsinvestigatingtheeffectsof
RadioFrequency(RF)energyexposurescharacteristicofwirelessphoneshaveyielded
conflictingresultsthatoftencannotberepeatedinotherlaboratories.Afewanimal

RFexposure.OtherstudiesexposedtheanimalstoRFforupto22hoursperday.These
conditionsarenotsimilartotheconditionsunderwhichpeopleusewirelessphones,so
wedonotknowwithcertaintywhattheresultsofsuchstudiesmeanforhumanhealth.
ThreelargeepidemiologystudieshavebeenpublishedsinceDecember2000.Between
them,thestudiesinvestigatedanypossibleassociationbetweentheuseofwirelessphones
andprimarybraincancer,glioma,meningioma,oracousticneuroma,tumorsofthebrainor

ofanyharmfulhealtheffectsfromwirelessphoneRFexposures.However,noneofthe

5. What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from wireless phones poses a

7. How can I find out how much Radio Frequency energy exposure I can get by using my
wireless phone?
AllphonessoldintheUnitedStatesmustcomplywithFederalCommunicationsCommission

theseguidelinesinconsultationwiththeFDAandtheotherfederalhealthandsafety
agencies.TheFCClimitforRFexposurefromwirelessphonesissetataSpecificAbsorption
