M e s s a g e f r o m t h e F D A13• Federal Communications Commission• Occupational Safety and Health Administration• National Telecommunications and Information AdministrationThe National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working groupactivities, as well.FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the FederalCommunications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United Statesmust comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC relies on FDAand other health agencies for safety questions about wireless phones.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 phonesthemselves, the RF exposures that people get from these base stations are typicallythousands of times lower than those they can get from wireless phones. Base stationsare thus not the primary subject of the safety questions discussed in this document.What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible health effects ofwireless phone RF?FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with groups ofinvestigators around the world to ensure that high priority animal studies areconducted to address important questions about the effects of exposure toradiofrequency energy (RF). FDA has been a leading participant in the World HealthOrganization International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its inceptionin 1996. An influential result of this work has been the development of a detailedagenda of research needs that has driven the establishment of new researchprograms around the world. The Project has also helped develop a series of publicinformation documents on EMF issues. FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications& Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research andDevelopment Agreement (CRADA) to do research on wireless phone safety. FDAprovides the scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts in government,industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted throughcontracts to independent investigators. The initial research will include bothlaboratory studies and studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will also include abroad assessment of additional research needs in the context of the latest researchdevelopments around the world.What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radiofrequency energy frommy wireless phone?If there is a risk from these products--and at this point we do not know that thereis--it is probably very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding even potentialrisks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure to radiofrequency
