1.Do wireless phones
pose a health hazard?
The available scientific
evidence does not show
that any health problems
are associated with using
wireless phones. There
is no proof, however,
that wireless phones are
absolutely safe. Wireless
phones emit low levels of
radio frequency energy (RF)
in the microwave range
while being used. They also
emit very low levels of RF
when in the standby mode.
Whereas high levels of RF
can produce health effects

exposures have not found
any biological effects. Some
studies have suggested that
some biological effects may
occur, but such findings
have not been confirmed by
additional research. In some
cases, other researchers
have had difficulty in
radiation emitting consumer
products such as wireless
phones before they can be
sold, as it does with new
drugs or medical devices.
However, the agency has

wireless phones are shown
to emit radio frequency
energy (RF) at a level that
is hazardous to the user. In
such a case, the FDA could

of wireless phones to notify
users of the health hazard
and to repair, replace, or
recall the phones so that the

are thus not the subject of the
safety questions discussed in
this document.
The FDA shares regulatory
responsibilities for wireless
phones with the Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC). All phones that are
sold in the United States
must comply with FCC
safety guidelines that limit
RF exposure. The FCC relies
on the FDA and other health
agencies for safety questions
about wireless phones.
3.What kinds of phones
are the subject of this
update?
The term ‘wireless phone’
refers here to handheld
wireless phones with built-in
antennas, often called
‘cell’, ‘mobile’, or ‘PCS’
phones. These types of
wireless phones can expose
the user to measurable
radiofrequency energy
(RF) because of the short
distance between the phone
and the user’s head. These
RF exposures are limited
by FCC safety guidelines
that were developed with
the advice of the FDA and
other federal health and
safety agencies. When the
The 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 phones
themselves, the RF exposures
that people get from these
base stations are typically

lower because a person’s
RF exposure decreases
rapidly with increasing
radiofrequency energy (RF)
exposures characteristic
of wireless phones
have yielded conflicting
results that often cannot
be repeated in other
distance from the source.
The so-called ‘cordless
phones,’ which have a
base unit connected to the
telephone wiring in a house,
typically operate at far lower
power levels, and thus
produce RF exposures far
below the FCC safety limits.
laboratories. A few animal
studies, however, have
suggested that low levels
of RF could accelerate the
development of cancer in
laboratory animals. However,
many of the studies that
showed increased tumor
development used animals
that had been genetically
engineered or treated with
cancer causing chemicals
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

of the research done
already?

results, and many studies
have suffered from flaws
in their research methods.

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
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.

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 FCC established these
guidelines in consultation
with the FDA and the
other federal health and
safety agencies. The FCC
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
the scientific oversight,
obtaining input from experts
in government, industry, and
academic organizations.
CTIA funded research
is conducted through
contracts with independent
investigators. The initial
research will include both

Radiation Protection and
Measurement. The exposure
limit takes into consideration
the body’s ability to remove
heat from the tissues that
absorb energy from the
wireless phone and is set
well below levels known to

of wireless phones must
report the RF exposure level
for each model of phone to
the FCC. The FCC website
(http://www.fcc.gov/oet/

The Institute of Electrical
and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) is developing
a technical standard
for measuring the
radiofrequency energy
(RF) exposure from
wireless phones and other
wireless handsets with the
participation and leadership
of FDA scientists and
engineers. The standard,

sets forth the first consistent
test methodology for
measuring the rate at which

uses a tissuesimulating
model of the human

a wireless phone complies
with safety guidelines.

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 example, the
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. But if
you are concerned about
the RF exposure from
these products, you can
use measures like those
described above to reduce

Radiofrequency energy

can interact with some
electronic devices. For
this reason, the FDA
helped develop a detailed
test method to measure
electromagnetic interference
(EMI) of implanted
cardiac pacemakers
and defibrillators from
wireless telephones. This
test method is now part
of a standard sponsored
by the Association for the
Advancement of Medical
instrumentation (AAMI).
The final draft, a joint
effort by the FDA, medical
device manufacturers, and
many other groups, was
34
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

the use of wireless phones
for possible interactions

5. Do not take notes or look
up phone numbers while
driving. If you are reading
an address book or

“to-do” list while driving a
car, you are not watching
where you are going. It
is common sense. Don’t
