1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?

Theavailablescientificevidencedoesnotshowthatanyhealthproblemsareassociatedwithusingwirelessphones.Thereisnoproof,however,thatwirelessphonesareabsolutelysafe.WirelessphonesemitlowlevelsofRadioFrequency(RF)energyinthemicrowaverangewhilebeingused.TheyalsoemitverylowlevelsofRFwheninstandbymode.WhereashighlevelsofRFcanproducehealtheffects(byheatingtissue),exposuretolowlevelRFthatdoesnotproduceheatingeffectscausesnoknownadversehealtheffects.ManystudiesoflowlevelRFexposureshavenotfoundanybiologicaleffects.Somestudieshavesuggestedthatsomebiologicaleffectsmayoccur,butsuch

102 Safety

findingshavenotbeenconfirmedbyadditionalresearch.Insomecases,otherresearchershavehaddifficultyinreproducingthosestudies,orindeterminingthereasonsforinconsistentresults.

2. What is the FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless phones?

Underthelaw,theFDAdoesnotreviewthesafetyofradiation-emittingconsumerproductssuchaswirelessphonesbeforetheycanbesold,asitdoeswithnewdrugsormedicaldevices.However,theagencyhasauthoritytotakeactionifwirelessphonesareshowntoemitRadioFrequency(RF)energyatalevelthatishazardoustotheuser.Insuchacase,theFDAcouldrequirethemanufacturersofwirelessphonestonotifyusersofthehealthhazardandtorepair,replace,orrecallthephonessothatthehazardnolongerexists.

AlthoughtheexistingscientificdatadonotjustifyFDAregulatoryactions,theFDAhasurgedthewirelessphoneindustrytotakeanumberofsteps,includingthefollowing.

• SupportneededresearchintopossiblebiologicaleffectsofRFofthetypeemittedbywirelessphones;

• DesignwirelessphonesinawaythatminimizesanyRFexposuretotheuserthatisnotnecessaryfordevicefunction;and

• Cooperateinprovidingusersofwirelessphoneswiththebestpossibleinformationonpossibleeffectsofwirelessphoneuseonhumanhealth.

TheFDAbelongstoaninteragencyworkinggroupofthefederalagenciesthathaveresponsibilityfordifferentaspectsofRFsafetytoensurecoordinatedeffortsatthefederallevel.Thefollowingagenciesbelongtothisworkinggroup:

TheNationalInstitutesofHealthparticipatesinsomeinteragencyworkinggroupactivities,aswell.TheFDAsharesregulatoryresponsibilitiesforwirelessphoneswiththeFederalCommunicationsCommission(FCC).AllphonesthataresoldintheUnitedStatesmustcomplywithFCCsafetyguidelinesthatlimitRFexposure.

TheFCCreliesontheFDAandotherhealthagenciesforsafetyquestionsaboutwirelessphones.

TheFCCalsoregulatesthebasestationsthatthewirelessphonenetworksrelyupon.Whilethesebasestationsoperateathigherpowerthandothewirelessphonesthemselves,theRFexposuresthatpeoplegetfromthesebasestationsaretypicallythousandsoftimeslowerthanthosetheycangetfromwirelessphones.Basestationsarethusnotthesubjectofthesafetyquestionsdiscussedinthisdocument.

3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?

Theterm“wirelessphone”refersheretohandheldwirelessphoneswithbuilt-inantennas,oftencalled“cell”,“mobile”,or“PCS”phones.ThesetypesofwirelessphonescanexposetheusertomeasurableRadioFrequency(RF)energybecauseoftheshortdistancebetweenthephoneandtheuser’shead.

TheseRFexposuresarelimitedbyFCCsafetyguidelinesthatweredevelopedwiththeadviceoftheFDAandotherfederalhealthandsafetyagencies.Whenthephoneislocatedatgreaterdistancesfromtheuser,theexposuretoRFisdrasticallylowerbecauseaperson'sRFexposuredecreasesrapidlywithincreasingdistancefromthesource.Theso-called“cordlessphones,”whichhaveabaseunitconnectedtothetelephonewiringinahouse,typicallyoperateatfarlowerpowerlevels,andthusproduceRFexposuresfarbelowtheFCCsafetylimits.

4. What are the results of the research done already?

Theresearchdonethusfarhasproducedconflictingresults,andmanystudieshavesufferedfromflawsintheirresearchmethods.AnimalexperimentsinvestigatingtheeffectsofRadioFrequency(RF)energyexposurescharacteristicofwirelessphoneshaveyieldedconflicting

7. How can I find out how much Radio Frequency energy exposure I can get by using my wireless phone?

AllphonessoldintheUnitedStatesmustcomplywithFederalCommunicationsCommission(FCC)guidelinesthatlimitRadioFrequency(RF)energyexposures.TheFCCestablishedtheseguidelinesinconsultationwiththeFDAandtheotherfederalhealthandsafetyagencies.TheFCClimitforRFexposurefromwirelessphonesissetataSpecificAbsorptionRate(SAR)of1.6wattsperkilogram(1.6W/kg).TheFCClimitisconsistentwiththesafetystandardsdevelopedbytheInstituteofElectricalandElectronicEngineering(IEEE)andtheNationalCouncilonRadiationProtectionandMeasurement.Theexposurelimittakesintoconsiderationthebody’sabilitytoremoveheatfromthetissuesthatabsorbenergyfromthewirelessphoneandissetwellbelowlevelsknowntohaveeffects.
