FDA Consumer Update
TheU.S.FoodandDrugAdministration’sCenterforDevicesandRadiologicalHealth
ConsumerUpdateonMobilePhones:
1. Do 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(RF)energyinthemicrowave
rangewhilebeingused.TheyalsoemitverylowlevelsofRFwheninstandbymode.
WhereashighlevelsofRFcanproducehealtheffects(byheatingtissue),exposuretolow
levelRFthatdoesnotproduceheatingeffectscausesnoknownadversehealtheffects.
ManystudiesoflowlevelRFexposureshavenotfoundanybiologicaleffects.Somestudies
havesuggestedthatsomebiologicaleffectsmayoccur,butsuchfindingshavenotbeen
confirmedbyadditionalresearch.Insomecases,otherresearchershavehaddifficultyin
reproducingthosestudies,orindeterminingthereasonsforinconsistentresults.
2. What is the FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless phones?
Underthelaw,theFDAdoesnotreviewthesafetyofradiation-emittingconsumerproducts
suchaswirelessphonesbeforetheycanbesold,asitdoeswithnewdrugsormedical
devices.However,theagencyhasauthoritytotakeactionifwirelessphonesareshownto
emitRadioFrequency(RF)energyatalevelthatishazardoustotheuser.Insuchacase,the
FDAcouldrequirethemanufacturersof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,theFDAhas
urgedthewirelessphoneindustrytotakeanumberofsteps,includingthefollowing:
X

SupportneededresearchintopossiblebiologicaleffectsofRFofthetypeemittedby
wirelessphones;

TheFDAbelongstoaninteragencyworkinggroupofthefederalagenciesthathave
responsibilityfordifferentaspectsofRFsafetytoensurecoordinatedeffortsatthefederal
level.Thefollowingagenciesbelongtothisworkinggroup:

aswell.
The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.TheFCCreliesontheFDAand
otherhealthagenciesforsafetyquestionsaboutwirelessphones.
The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phonesthemselves,the
RFexposuresthatpeoplegetfromthesebasestationsaretypicallythousandsoftimes
lowerthanthosetheycangetfromwirelessphones.Basestationsarethusnotthesubject
ofthesafetyquestionsdiscussedinthisdocument.
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
Theterm“wirelessphone”refersheretohandheldwirelessphoneswithbuilt-inantennas,
oftencalled“cell”,“mobile”,or“PCS”phones.Thesetypesofwirelessphonescanexpose
theusertomeasurableRadioFrequency(RF)energybecauseoftheshortdistancebetween
thephoneandtheuser’shead.
TheseRFexposuresarelimitedbyFCCsafetyguidelinesthatweredevelopedwiththe
adviceoftheFDAandotherfederalhealthandsafetyagencies.Whenthephoneis
locatedatgreaterdistancesfromtheuser,theexposuretoRFisdrasticallylowerbecause
aperson'sRFexposuredecreasesrapidlywithincreasingdistancefromthesource.The
so-called“cordlessphones,”whichhaveabaseunitconnectedtothetelephonewiringina

house,typicallyoperateatfarlowerpowerlevels,andthusproduceRFexposuresfarbelow
theFCCsafetylimits.
4. What are the results of the research done already?
Theresearchdonethusfarhasproducedconflictingresults,andmanystudieshavesuffered
fromflawsintheirresearchmethods.Animalexperimentsinvestigatingtheeffectsof
RadioFrequency(RF)energyexposurescharacteristicofwirelessphoneshaveyielded
conflictingresultsthatoftencannotberepeatedinotherlaboratories.Afewanimal
studies,however,havesuggestedthatlowlevelsofRFcouldacceleratethedevelopment
ofcancerinlaboratoryanimals.However,manyofthestudiesthatshowedincreased
tumordevelopmentusedanimalsthathadbeengeneticallyengineeredortreatedwith
cancer-causingchemicalssoastobepre-disposedtodevelopcancerintheabsenceof
RFexposure.OtherstudiesexposedtheanimalstoRFforupto22hoursperday.These
conditionsarenotsimilartotheconditionsunderwhichpeopleusewirelessphones,so
wedonotknowwithcertaintywhattheresultsofsuchstudiesmeanforhumanhealth.
ThreelargeepidemiologystudieshavebeenpublishedsinceDecember2000.Between
them,thestudiesinvestigatedanypossibleassociationbetweentheuseofwirelessphones
andprimarybraincancer,glioma,meningioma,oracousticneuroma,tumorsofthebrainor
salivarygland,leukemia,orothercancers.Noneofthestudiesdemonstratedtheexistence
ofanyharmfulhealtheffectsfromwirelessphoneRFexposures.However,noneofthe
studiescananswerquestionsaboutlong-termexposures,sincetheaverageperiodofphone
useinthesestudieswasaroundthreeyears.
5. What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from wireless phones poses a
health risk?
Acombinationoflaboratorystudiesandepidemiologicalstudiesofpeopleactuallyusing
wirelessphoneswouldprovidesomeofthedatathatareneeded.Lifetimeanimalexposure
studiescouldbecompletedinafewyears.However,verylargenumbersofanimals
wouldbeneededtoprovidereliableproofofacancerpromotingeffectifoneexists.
Epidemiologicalstudiescanprovidedatathatisdirectlyapplicabletohumanpopulations,
but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

used.
6. What is the FDA doing to find out more about the possible health effects of wireless phone
RF?
TheFDAisworkingwiththeU.S.NationalToxicologyProgramandwithgroupsof
investigatorsaroundtheworldtoensurethathighpriorityanimalstudiesareconductedto
addressimportantquestionsabouttheeffectsofexposuretoRadioFrequency(RF)energy.
TheFDAhasbeenaleadingparticipantintheWorldHealthOrganizationInternational
ElectroMagneticFields(EMF)Projectsinceitsinceptionin1996.Aninfluentialresultof
thisworkhasbeenthedevelopmentofadetailedagendaofresearchneedsthathasdriven

TheFDAandtheCellularTelecommunications&InternetAssociation(CTIA)haveaformal
CooperativeResearchAndDevelopmentAgreement(CRADA)todoresearchonwireless
phonesafety.TheFDAprovidesthescientificoversight,obtaininginputfromexpertsin

abroadassessmentofadditionalresearchneedsinthecontextofthelatestresearch
developmentsaroundtheworld.
7. How can I find out how much Radio Frequency energy exposure I can get by using my
wireless phone?
AllphonessoldintheUnitedStatesmustcomplywithFederalCommunicationsCommission
(FCC)guidelinesthatlimitRadioFrequency(RF)energyexposures.TheFCCestablished
theseguidelinesinconsultationwiththeFDAandtheotherfederalhealthandsafety
agencies.TheFCClimitforRFexposurefromwirelessphonesissetataSpecificAbsorption
Rate(SAR)of1.6wattsperkilogram(1.6W/kg).TheFCClimitisconsistentwiththesafety
standardsdevelopedbytheInstituteofElectricalandElectronicEngineering(IEEE)andthe
NationalCouncilonRadiationProtectionandMeasurement.Theexposurelimittakesinto
considerationthebody’sabilitytoremoveheatfromthetissuesthatabsorbenergyfrom
thewirelessphoneandissetwellbelowlevelsknowntohaveeffects.Manufacturersof
wirelessphonesmustreporttheRFexposurelevelforeachmodelofphonetotheFCC.

identificationnumberonyourphonesoyoucanfindyourphone’sRFexposurelevelinthe
onlinelisting.
8. What has the FDA done to measure the Radio Frequency energy coming from wireless
phones?
TheInstituteofElectricalandElectronicEngineers(IEEE)isdevelopingatechnicalstandard
formeasuringtheRadioFrequency(RF)energyexposurefromwirelessphonesandother
wirelesshandsetswiththeparticipationandleadershipofFDAscientistsandengineers.
Thestandard,“RecommendedPracticeforDeterminingtheSpatial-PeakSpecificAbsorption
Rate(SAR)intheHumanBodyDuetoWirelessCommunicationsDevices:Experimental
Techniques”,setsforththefirstconsistenttestmethodologyformeasuringtherateat
whichRFisdepositedintheheadsofwirelessphoneusers.Thetestmethodusesatissue-
simulatingmodelofthehumanhead.StandardizedSARtestmethodologyisexpectedto
greatlyimprovetheconsistencyofmeasurementsmadeatdifferentlaboratoriesonthe
samephone.SARisthemeasurementoftheamountofenergyabsorbedintissue,either
bythewholebodyorasmallpartofthebody.Itismeasuredinwatts/kg(ormilliwatts/g)
ofmatter.Thismeasurementisusedtodeterminewhetherawirelessphonecomplieswith
safetyguidelines.
9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to Radio Frequency energy from my wireless
phone?
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youareconcernedaboutavoidingevenpotentialrisks,you
cantakeafewsimplestepstominimizeyourexposuretoRadioFrequency(RF)energy.
Sincetimeisakeyfactorinhowmuchexposureapersonreceives,reducingtheamountof
timespentusingawirelessphonewillreduceRFexposure.Ifyoumustconductextended
conversationsbywirelessphoneeveryday,youcouldplacemoredistancebetweenyour
bodyandthesourceoftheRF,sincetheexposureleveldropsoffdramaticallywithdistance.
Forexample,youcoulduseaheadsetandcarrythewirelessphoneawayfromyourbody
oruseawirelessphoneconnectedtoaremoteantenna.Again,thescientificdatadoes
notdemonstratethatwirelessphonesareharmful.ButifyouareconcernedabouttheRF
exposurefromtheseproducts,youcanusemeasureslikethosedescribedabovetoreduce
yourRFexposurefromwirelessphoneuse.

11. What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?
RadioFrequency(RF)energyfromwirelessphonescaninteractwithsomeelectronic
devices.Forthisreason,theFDAhelpeddevelopadetailedtestmethodtomeasure
ElectroMagnetic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the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.
TheFDAhastestedhearingaidsforinterferencefromhandheld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.
TheFDAcontinuestomonitortheuseofwirelessphonesforpossibleinteractionswith
othermedicaldevices.Shouldharmfulinterferencebefoundtooccur,theFDAwillconduct
testingtoassesstheinterferenceandworktoresolvetheproblem.
