The research done thus far
has produced conflicting
results, and many studies have
suffered from flaws in their

A few animal studies, however,
have suggested that low

head. These RF exposures
are limited by FCC safety
guidelines that were developed
with the advice of the FDA
and other federal health and

exposure to RF is drastically
lower because a person’s RF

that had been genetically
engineered or treated with

so as to be predisposed 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 don
’t 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
longterm 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 10 or
more years follow-up may be
needed to provide answers
about some health effects,
such as cancer.
127
Safety Guidelines
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
to radiofrequency energy
(RF). The FDA has been a
leading participant in the
World Health Organization
International Electromagnetic
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

The project has also helped
develop a series of public
information documents on
EMF issues. 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
wireless phones. Many factors
affect this measurement, such
as the angle at which the
phone is held, or which model
of phone is 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

7. How can I find out how
much radiofrequency
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 radiofrequency
energy (RF) exposures.

The Institute of Electrical and

is developing a technical
standard for measuring the
radiofrequency energy (RF)
exposure from wireless phones

even potential risks, you can
take a few simple steps to
minimize your exposure to
radiofrequency energy (RF).
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 do not demonstrate that
wireless phones are harmful.

10. What about children using
wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does
not show a danger to users
of wireless phones, including
children and teenagers.
If you want to take steps
to lower exposure to
radiofrequency energy (RF),
the measures described
above would apply to
children and teenagers using
wireless phones. Reducing
the time of wireless phone
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 phones at all. For

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

that any health hazard exists.
11. What about wireless

electronic devices. For
this reason, the FDA

10 Driver Safety Tips
Your wireless phone gives
you the powerful ability to
communicate by voice almost
anywhere, anytime. An important
responsibility accompanies the
benefits of wireless phones, one
that every user must uphold.
When operating a car, driving is
your first responsibility.
When using your wireless phone
behind the wheel of a car,
practice good common sense
and remember the following tips:

Safety Guidelines
1. Get to know your wireless
phone and its features such
as speed dial and redial.
Carefully read your instruction
manual and learn to take
advantage of valuable features
most phones offer, including
automatic redial and memory.
Also, work to memorize the
phone keypad so you can use
the speed dial function without
taking your attention off the
road.
you can reach it without
removing your eyes from the
road. If you get an incoming
call at an inconvenient time,
if possible, let your voicemail
answer it for you.
4. Suspend conversations during
hazardous driving conditions
or situations. Let the person
you are speaking with know
you are driving; if necessary,
suspend the call in heavy
traffic or hazardous weather
conditions. Rain, sleet, snow
and ice can be hazardous, but
so is heavy traffic. As a driver,
your first responsibility is to
pay attention to the road.
5. Do not take notes or look up
phone numbers while driving.
If you are reading an address
book or business card, or
writing a “to-do” list while
driving a car, you are not
2. When available, use a
handsfree device. A number
of handsfree wireless phone
accessories are readily
available today. Whether you
choose an installed mounted
device for your wireless phone
or a speaker phone accessory,
take advantage of these
devices if available to you.
3. Position your wireless phone
within easy reach. Make sure

with aware you are driving
and if necessary, suspend
conversations which have
the potential to divert your
attention from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to
call for help. Your wireless
phone is one of the greatest
tools you can own to protect
yourself and your family in
dangerous situations —
with your phone at your side,
help is only three numbers
away. Dial 911 or other local
emergency number in the
case of fire, traffic accident,
road hazard or medical
emergency. Remember, it is
a free call on your wireless
phone!
9. Use your wireless phone to
help others in emergencies.
Your wireless phone provides
you a perfect opportunity to
be a “Good Samaritan” in your
community. If you see an auto
accident, crime in progress
6. Dial sensibly and assess the
traffic; if possible, place calls
when you are not moving or
before pulling into traffic. Try
to plan your calls before you
begin your trip or attempt to
coincide your calls with times
you may be stopped at a stop
sign, red light or otherwise
stationary. But if you need to
dial while driving, follow this
simple tip — dial only a few
numbers, check the road and
your mirrors, then continue.
7. Do not engage in stressful or
emotional conversations that
may be distracting. Stressful
or emotional conversations
and driving do not mix; they
are distracting and even
dangerous when you are
behind the wheel of a car.
