I t is designed and m anufact ured not t o exceed t he em ission lim it s for exposure t o radio frequency ( RF) energy set by t he Federal Com m unicat ions Com m ission ( FCC) of t he U.S. Governm ent. These lim it s are part of com prehensive guidelines and est ablish perm it t ed levels of RF energy for t he general populat ion. The guidelines are based on t he safet y st andards t hat were developed by independent scient ific organizat ions t hrough periodic and t hrough evaluat ion of scient ific st udies. The st andards include a subst ant ial safet y m argin designed t o assure t he safet y of all persons, regardless of age and healt h. The exposure st andard for wireless phones em ploys a unit of m easurem ent known as Specific Absorpt ion Rat e ( SAR) . The SAR lim it recom m ended by t he FCC is 1.6W/ kg. * SAR t est s are conduct ed using st andard operat ing posit ions specified by t he FCC wit h t he phone t ransm it t ing at it s highest cert ified power level in all t est ed frequency bands. Alt hough t he SAR is det erm ined at t he highest cert ified power level, t he act ual SAR level of t he phone while operat ing can be well below t he m axim um value. This is because t he phone is designed t o operat e at m ult iple power levels so as t o use only t he power required t o reach t he net work.

The t erm wireless phone refers here t o hand- held wireless phones wit h built- in ant ennas, oft en called cell, m obile, or PCS phones. These t ypes of wireless phones can expose t he user t o m easurable radio frequency energy ( RF) because of t he short dist ance bet ween t he phone and t he user s head. These RF exposures are lim it ed by Federal Com m unicat ions Com m ission safet y guidelines t hat were developed wit h t he advice of FDA and ot her federal healt h and safet y agencies. When t he phone is locat ed at great er dist ances from t he user, t he exposure t o RF is drast ically lower because a person’s RF exposure decreases rapidly wit h increasing dist ance from t he source. The so- called “ cordless phones,” which have a base unit connect ed t o t he t elephone wiring in a house, t ypically operat e at far lower power levels, and 31 Health and safety information t hus produce RF exposures well wit hin t he FCC’s com pliance lim it s. 2. Do wireless phones pose a healt h hazard? The available scient ific evidence does not show t hat any healt h problem s are associat ed wit h using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, t hat wireless phones are absolut ely safe. Wireless phones em it low levels of radio frequency energy ( RF) in t he m icrowave range while being used. They also em it very low levels of RF when in t he st and- by m ode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce healt h effect s ( by heat ing t issue) , exposure t o low level RF t hat does not produce heat ing effect s causes no known adverse healt h effect s. Many st udies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effect s. Som e st udies have suggest ed t hat som e biological effect s m ay occur, but such findings have not been confirm ed by addit ional research. I n som e cases, ot her researchers have had difficult y in reproducing t hose st udies, or in det erm ining t he reasons for inconsist ent result s. 32 3. What is FDA’s role concerning t he safet y of wireless phones? Under t he law, FDA does not review t he safet y of radiat ion em it t ing consum er product s such as wireless phones before t hey can be sold, as it does wit h new drugs or m edical devices. However, t he agency has aut horit y t o t ake act ion if wireless phones are shown t o em it radio frequency energy ( RF) at a level t hat is hazardous t o t he user. I n such a case, FDA could require t he m anufact urers of wireless phones t o not ify users of t he healt h hazard and t o repair, replace or recall t he phones so t hat t he hazard no longer exist s. Alt hough t he exist ing scient ific dat a do not j ust ify FDA regulat ory act ions, FDA has urged t he wireless phone indust ry t o t ake a num ber of st eps, including t he following: • Support needed research int o possible biological effect s of RF of t he t ype em it t ed by wireless phones; • • FDA belongs t o an int eragency working group of t he federal agencies t hat have responsibilit y for different aspect s of RF safet y t o ensure coordinat ed effort s at t he federal level. The following agencies belong t o t his working group: • Nat ional I nst it ut e for Occupat ional Safet y and Healt h • Environm ent al Prot ect ion Agency Federal Com m unicat ions Com m ission • Occupat ional Safet y and Healt h Adm inist rat ion • Nat ional Telecom m unicat ions and I nform at ion Adm inist rat ion • The Nat ional I nst it ut es of Healt h part icipat es in som e int eragency working group act ivit ies, as well.

Base st at ions are t hus not t he prim ary subj ect of t he safet y quest ions discussed in t his docum ent . 4. What is FDA doing t o find out m ore about t he possible healt h effect s of wireless phone RF? FDA is working wit h t he U.S. Nat ional Toxicology Program and wit h groups of invest igat ors around t he world t o ensure t hat high priorit y anim al st udies are conduct ed t o address im port ant quest ions about t he effect s of exposure t o radio frequency energy ( RF) . 33 Health and safety information FDA has been a leading part icipant in t he World Healt h Organizat ion I nt ernat ional Elect rom agnet ic Fields ( EMF) Proj ect since it s incept ion in 1996. An influent ial result of t his work has been t he developm ent of a det ailed agenda of research needs t hat has driven t he est ablishm ent of new research program s around t he world. The Proj ect has also helped develop a series of public inform at ion docum ent s on EMF issues. FDA and t he Cellular Telecom m unicat ions & I nt ernet Associat ion ( CTI A) have a form al Cooperat ive Research and Developm ent Agreem ent ( CRADA) t o do research on wireless phone safet y. FDA provides t he scient ific oversight , obt aining input from expert s in governm ent , indust ry, and academ ic organizat ions. CTI A- funded research is conduct ed t hrough cont ract s t o independent invest igat ors. The init ial research will include bot h laborat ory st udies and st udies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will also include a broad assessm ent of addit ional research needs in t he cont ext of t he lat est research developm ent s around t he world. 34 5. What st eps can I t ake t o reduce m y exposure t o radio frequency energy from m y wireless phone? I f t here is a risk from t hese product s—and at t his point we do not know t hat t here is—it is probably very sm all. But if you are concerned about avoiding even pot ent ial risks, you can t ake a few sim ple st eps t o m inim ize your exposure t o radio frequency energy ( RF) . Since t im e is a key fact or in how m uch exposure a person receives, reducing t he am ount of t im e spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure. I f you m ust conduct ext ended conversat ions by wireless phone every day, you could place m ore dist ance bet ween your body and t he source of t he RF, since t he exposure level drops off dram at ically wit h dist ance. For exam ple, you could use a headset and carry t he wireless phone away from your body or use a wireless phone connect ed t o a rem ot e ant enna Again, t he scient ific dat a do not dem onst rat e t hat wireless phones are harm ful. But if you are concerned about t he RF exposure from t hese product s, you can use m easures like t hose described above t o reduce your RF exposure from wireless phone use. 6. What about children using wireless phones? Som e groups sponsored by ot her nat ional governm ent s have advised t hat children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For exam ple, t he governm ent in t he Unit ed Kingdom dist ribut ed leaflet s cont aining such a recom m endat ion in Decem ber 2000. They not ed t hat no evidence exist s t hat using a wireless phone causes brain t um ors or ot her ill effect s. Their recom m endat ion t o lim it wireless phone use by children was st rict ly precaut ionary; it was not based on scient ific evidence t hat any healt h hazard exist s. 7. Do hands- free kit s for wireless phones reduce risks from exposure t o RF em issions? Since t here are no known risks from exposure t o RF em issions from wireless phones, t here is no reason t o believe t hat hands- free kit s reduce risks. Hands- free kit s can be used wit h wireless phones for convenience and com fort . These syst em s reduce t he absorpt ion of RF energy in t he head because t he phone, which is t he source of t he RF em issions, will not be placed against t he head. On t he ot her hand, if t he phone is m ount ed against t he waist or ot her part of t he body during use, t hen t hat part of t he body will absorb m ore RF energy. Wireless phones m arket ed in t he U.S. are required t o m eet safet y requirem ent s regardless of whet her t hey are used against t he head or against t he body. Eit her configurat ion should result in com pliance wit h t he safet y lim it . Health and safety information The scient ific evidence does not show a danger t o users of wireless phones, including children and t eenagers. I f you want t o t ake st eps t o lower exposure t o radio frequency energy ( RF) , t he m easures described above would apply t o children and t eenagers using wireless phones. Reducing t he t im e of wireless phone use and increasing t he dist ance bet ween t he user and t he RF source will reduce RF exposure. Do wireless phone accessories t hat claim t o shield t he head from RF radiat ion work? Since t here are no known risks from exposure t o RF em issions from wireless phones, t here is no reason t o believe t hat accessories t hat claim t o shield t he head 35 Health and safety information from t hose em issions reduce risks. Som e product s t hat claim t o shield t he user from RF absorpt ion use special phone cases, while ot hers involve not hing m ore t han a m et allic accessory at t ached t o t he phone. St udies have shown t hat t hese product s generally do not work as advert ised. Unlike “ hand- free” kit s, t hese so- called “ shields” m ay int erfere wit h proper operat ion of t he phone. The phone m ay be forced t o boost it s power t o com pensat e, leading t o an increase in RF absorpt ion. I n February 2002, t he Federal t rade Com m ission ( FTC) charged t wo com panies t hat sold devices t hat claim ed t o prot ect wireless phone users from radiat ion wit h m aking false and unsubst ant iat ed claim s. According t o FTC, t hese defendant s lacked a reasonable basis t o subst ant iat e t heir claim . 8. What about wireless phone int erference wit h m edical equipm ent ? 36 Radio frequency energy ( RF) from wireless phones can int eract wit h som e elect ronic devices. For t his reason, FDA helped develop a det ailed t est m et hod t o m easure elect rom agnet ic int erference ( EMI ) of im plant ed cardiac pacem akers and defibrillat ors from wireless t elephones. This t est m et hod is now part of a st andard sponsored by t he Associat ion for t he Advancem ent of Medical inst rum ent at ion ( AAMI ) . The final draft , a j oint effort by FDA, m edical device m anufact urers, and m any ot her groups, was com plet ed in lat e 2000. This st andard will allow m anufact urers t o ensure t hat cardiac pacem akers and defibrillat ors are safe from wireless phone EMI . FDA has t est ed hearing aids for int erference from handheld wireless phones and helped develop a volunt ary st andard sponsored by t he I nst it ut e of Elect rical and Elect ronic Engineers ( I EEE) . This st andard specifies t est m et hods and perform ance requirem ent s for hearing aids and wireless phones so t hat no int erference occurs when a person uses a com pat ible phone and a com pat ible hearing aid at t he sam e t im e. This st andard was approved by t he I EEE in 2000. The research done t hus far has produced conflict ing result s, and m any st udies have suffered from flaws in t heir research m et hods. Anim al experim ent s invest igat ing t he effect s of radio frequency energy ( RF) exposures charact erist ic of wireless phones have yielded conflict ing result s t hat oft en cannot be repeat ed in ot her laborat ories. A few anim al st udies, however, have suggest ed t hat low levels of RF could accelerat e t he developm ent of cancer in laborat ory anim als. However, m any of t he st udies t hat showed increased t um or developm ent used anim als t hat had been genet ically engineered or t reat ed wit h cancer causing chem icals so as t o be pre- disposed t o develop cancer in t he absence of RF exposure. Ot her st udies exposed t he anim als t o RF for up t o 22 hours per day. These condit ions are not sim ilar t o t he condit ions under which people use wireless phones, so we don’t know wit h cert aint y what t he result s of such st udies m ean for hum an healt h. Three large epidem iology studies have been published since Decem ber 2000. Bet ween t hem , t he st udies invest igat ed any possible associat ion bet ween t he use of wireless phones and prim ary brain cancer, giom a, m eningiom a, or acoust ic neurom a, t um ors of t he brain or salivary gland, leukem ia, or ot her cancers. None of t he st udies dem onst rat ed t he exist ence of any harm ful healt h effect s from wireless phone RF exposures. However, none of t he st udies can answer quest ions about long- t erm exposures, since t he average period of phone use in t hese st udies was around t hree years. 10.What research is needed t o decide whet her RF exposure from wireless phones poses a healt h risk? Health and safety information FDA cont inues t o m onit or t he use of wireless phones for possible int eract ions wit h ot her m edical devices. Should harm ful int erference be found t o occur, FDA will conduct t est ing t o assess t he int erference and work t o resolve t he problem . 9. What are t he result s of t he research done already? A com binat ion of laborat ory st udies and epidem iological st udies of people act ually using wireless phones would provide som e of t he dat a t hat are needed. Lifet im e anim al exposure st udies could be com plet ed in a few years. However, very large 37 Health and safety information num bers of anim als would be needed t o provide reliable proof of a cancer prom ot ing effect if one exist s. Epidem iological st udies can provide dat a t hat is direct ly applicable t o hum an populat ions, but 10 or m ore years follow- up m ay be needed t o provide answers about som e healt h effect s, such as cancer. This is because t he int erval bet ween t he t im e of exposure t o a cancer- causing agent and t he t im e t um ors develop - if t hey do - m ay be m any, m any years. The int erpret at ion of epidem iological st udies is ham pered by difficult ies in m easuring act ual RF exposure during day- t o- day use of wireless phones. Many fact ors affect t his m easurem ent , such as t he angle at which t he phone is held, or which m odel of phone is used. 11.Which ot her federal agencies have responsibilit ies relat ed t o pot ent ial RF healt h effect s?
