Safety Guidelines
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 to address important
questions about the effects of exposure 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 establishment of new research programs around the
world. 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 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 laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone users.
The CRADA will also include a broad assessment of additional
research needs in the context of the latest research developments
around the world.
