Informationforwirelesshandheldphones.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal

Yourwirelesshandheldportablephoneis

alowpowerradiotransmitterandreceiver.

WhenitisON,itreceivesandalsosends

outRadioFrequency(RF)signals.In

August,1996,theFederalCommunications

Commissions(FCC)adoptedRFexposure

guidelineswithsafetylevelsforhandheld

wirelessphones.Thoseguidelinesare

consistentwiththesafetystandards

previouslysetbybothU.S.andinternational

standardsbodies:

•ANSIC95.1(1992)*

•NCRPReport86(1986)

•ICNIRP(1996)

•HealthCanada,SafetyCode6,1999.

Thosestandardswerebasedon

Tips on Efficient Operation

Foryourphonetooperatemostefficiently:

Donottouchtheantennaunnecessarily

whenthephoneisinuse.

Contactwiththeantennaaffectscallquality

andmaycausethephonetooperateata

FDA Consumer Update

TheU.S.FoodandDrugAdministration’s

CenterforDevicesandRadiologicalHealth

ConsumerUpdateonMobilePhones:

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radiofrequencyenergy

(RF)inthemicrowaverangewhilebeing

used.TheyalsoemitverylowlevelsofRF

whenintheMainMenuScreen.Whereas

highlevelsofRFcanproducehealtheffects

(byheatingtissue),exposuretolowlevel

RFthatdoes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suchfindingshave

notbeenconfirmedbyadditionalresearch.

Insomecases,otherresearchershavehad

difficultyinreproducingthosestudies,or

indeterminingthereasonsforinconsistent

results.

2. What is the FDA's role concerning the

safety of wireless phones?

Underthelaw,theFDAdoesnotreview

thesafetyofradiationemittingconsumer

authoritytotakeactionifwirelessphones

areshowntoemitradiofrequencyenergy

(RF)atalevelthatishazardoustotheuser.

Insuchacase,theFDAcouldrequirethe

manufacturersofwirelessphonestonotify

usersofthehealthhazardandtorepair,

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.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thousandsof

timeslowerthanthosetheycangetfrom

wirelessphones.Basestationsarethusnot

thesubjectofthesafetyquestionsdiscussed

inthisdocument.

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phoneislocatedatgreater

distancesfromtheuser,theexposuretoRF

isdrasticallylowerbecauseaperson'sRF

exposuredecreasesrapidlywithincreasing

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.

4. What are the results of the research

done already?

Theresearchdonethusfarhasproduced

conflictingresults,andmanystudies

havesufferedfromflawsintheirresearch

methods.

Animalexperimentsinvestigatingtheeffects

ofradiofrequencyenergy(RF)exposures

characteristicofwirelessphoneshave

yieldedconflictingresultsthatoftencannot

berepeatedinother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pre-disposed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long-term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.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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toensurethat

highpriorityanimalstudiesareconducted

7. How can I find out how much radio

frequency 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

radiofrequencyenergy(RF)exposures.

TheFCCestablishedtheseguidelinesin

8. What has the FDA done to measure

the radio frequency energy coming

from wireless phones?

TheInstituteofElectricalandElectronic

Engineers(IEEE)isdevelopingatechnical

standardformeasuringtheradiofrequency

energy(RF)exposurefromwireless

phonesandotherwirelesshandsetswith

theparticipationandleadershipofFDA

milliwatts/g)ofmatter.Thismeasurementis

usedtodeterminewhetherawirelessphone

complieswithsafetyguidelines.

9. What steps can I take to reduce my

exposure to radio frequency energy

from my wireless phone?

Ifthereisariskfromtheseproducts—and

atthispointwedonotknowthatthere

is—itisprobablyverysmall.Butifyouare

concernedaboutavoidingevenpotential

risks,youcantakeafewsimplestepsto

minimizeyourexposuretoradiofrequency

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

placemoredistancebetweenyourbodyand

thesourceoftheRF,sincetheexposure

Forexample,youcoulduseaheadsetand

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

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

11. What about wireless phone

interference with medical

equipment?

Radiofrequencyenergy(RF)fromwireless

phonescaninteractwithsomeelectronic

devices.Forthisreason,theFDAhelped

developadetailedtestmethodtomeasure
