wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. They also emitvery low levels of RF when in the stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RFcan produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF thatdoes 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 suchfindings have not been confirmed by additional research. In some cases, otherresearchers have had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in determiningthe reasons for inconsistent results.What is FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless phones?Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumerproducts such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does with newdrugs or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to take action ifwireless phones are shown to emit radio frequency energy (RF) at a level that ishazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could require the manufacturers ofwireless phones to notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace orrecall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, FDAhas urged the wireless phone industry to take a number of steps, including thefollowing: “Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of thetype emitted by wireless phones; “Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to theuser that is not necessary for device function; and “Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best possibleinformation on possible effects of wireless phone use on human health.FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that haveresponsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts atthe federal level. The following agencies belong to this working group: “National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health “Environmental Protection Agency “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 UnitedStates must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCCrelies on FDA and other health agencies for safety questions about wirelessphones.
