thus produce RF exposures well within the FCC's

compliance limits.

2. 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 stand-by mode.

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.

3. What is FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless

phones?

Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of

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

authority to take action if wireless phones are shown

to emit radio frequency energy (RF) at a level that is

hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could

require the manufacturers of wireless phones to notify

users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or

recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.

Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA

regulatory actions, FDA has urged the wireless phone

industry to take a number of steps, including the

following:

•

Support needed research into possible biological

effects of RF of the type emitted by wireless

phones;
