TheU.S.FoodandDrugAdministration’sCenterforDevicesandRadiological

HealthConsumerUpdateonMobileTablets:

1.Dotabletsposeahealthhazard?

Theavailablescientificevidencedoesnotshowthatanyhealthproblemsareassociated

withusingtablets.

Thereisnoproof,however,thattabletsareabsolutelysafe.Tablets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idle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tablets?

Underthelaw,theFDAdoesnotreviewthesafetyofradiation-emittingconsumerproducts

suchastabletsbeforetheycanbesold,asitdoeswithnewdrugsormedicaldevices.

However,theagencyhasauthoritytotakeactioniftablets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tabletstonotifyusersofthehealthhazardandtorepair,

replace,orrecallthetabletssothatthehazardnolongerexists.

AlthoughtheexistingscientificdatadoesnotjustifyFDAregulatoryactions,theFDAhas

urgedthetabletindustrytotakeanumberofsteps,includingthefollowing:

119

For Your Safety

• SupportneededresearchintopossiblebiologicaleffectsofRFofthetypeemittedby

tablets;

• DesigntabletsinawaythatminimizesanyRFexposuretotheuserthatisnot

necessaryfordevicefunction;and

• Cooperateinprovidingusersoftabletswiththebestpossibleinformationonpossible

effectsoftabletuseonhumanhealth.

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:

• NationalInstituteforOccupationalSafetyandHealth

• EnvironmentalProtectionAgency

• OccupationalSafetyandHealthAdministration

• NationalTelecommunicationsandInformationAdministration

TheNationalInstitutesofHealthparticipatesinsomeinteragencyworkinggroupactivities,

aswell.

TheFDAsharesregulatoryresponsibilitiesfortabletswiththeFederalCommunications

Commission(FCC).Alltablets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tablets.

TheFCCalsoregulatesthebasestationsthatthetabletnetworksrelyupon.Whilethese

basestationsoperateathigherpowerthandothetabletsthemselves,theRFexposures

thatpeoplegetfromthesebasestationsaretypicallythousandsoftimeslowerthanthose

theycangetfromtablets.Basestationsarethusnotthesubjectofthesafetyquestions

discussedinthisdocument.

120

For Your Safety

3.Whatkindsofdevicesarethesubjectofthisupdate?

Theterm“wirelessdevice”refersheretohandheldwirelessdeviceswithbuilt-inantennas,

oftencalled“cell”,“mobile”,or“PCS”devices.Thesetypesofwirelessdevicescanexpose

theusertomeasurableRadioFrequency(RF)energybecauseoftheshortdistancebetween

thedevice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device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.

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devices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devices,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devices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deviceRFexposures.However,noneofthestudiescananswerquestionsabout

121

For Your Safety

long-termexposures,sincetheaverageperiodofdeviceuseinthesestudieswasaround

threeyears.

5.WhatresearchisneededtodecidewhetherRFexposurefromtabletsposesa

healthrisk?

Acombinationoflaboratorystudiesandepidemiologicalstudiesofpeopleactuallyusing

tablets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tablets.Manyfactorsaffectthismeasurement,suchastheangleat

whichthetabletisheld,orwhichmodeloftabletisused.

6.WhatistheFDAdoingtofindoutmoreaboutthepossiblehealtheffectsoftablet

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

8.WhathastheFDAdonetomeasuretheRadioFrequencyenergycomingfrom

tablets?

TheInstituteofElectricalandElectronicEngineers(IEEE)isdevelopingatechnicalstandard

formeasuringtheRadioFrequency(RF)energyexposurefromtablets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andbodiesoftabletusers.Thetestmethodusesa

tissue-simulatingmodelofthehumanheadandbody.StandardizedSARtestmethodology

isexpectedtogreatlyimprovetheconsistencyofmeasurementsmadeatdifferent

laboratoriesonthesametablet.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tabletcomplies

withsafetyguidelines.

9.WhatstepscanItaketoreducemyexposuretoRadioFrequencyenergyfrommy

tablet?

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tabletwillreduceRFexposure.Ifyoumustconductextendedconversations

usingawirelessdevice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tabletawayfromyourbodyoruseawirelessdevice

connectedtoaremoteantenna.Again,thescientificdatadoesnotdemonstratethattablets

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tabletuse.

10.Whataboutchildrenusingtablets?

Thescientificevidencedoesnotshowadangertousersoftablets,includingchildrenand

teenagers.IfyouwanttotakestepstolowerexposuretoRadioFrequency(RF)energy,the

measuresdescribedabovewouldapplytochildrenandteenagersusingtablets.Reducing

thetimeoftabletuseandincreasingthedistancebetweentheuserandtheRFsourcewill

reduceRFexposure.

Somegroupssponsoredbyothernationalgovernmentshaveadvisedthatchildrenbe

discouragedfromusingwirelessdevicesatall.Forexample,thegovernmentintheUnited

KingdomdistributedleafletscontainingsucharecommendationinDecember2000.They

notedthatnoevidenceexiststhatusingawirelessdevicecausesbraintumorsorother

illeffects.Theirrecommendationtolimitwirelessdeviceusebychildrenwasstrictly

precautionary;itwasnotbasedonscientificevidencethatanyhealthhazardexists.

11.Whataboutwirelesscommunicationsdeviceinterferencewithmedical

equipment?

RadioFrequency(RF)energyfromwirelesscommunicationsdevices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devices.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communicationsdeviceEMI.

TheFDAhastestedhearingaidsforinterferencefromhandheldwirelessdevicesandhelped
