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 Radio Frequency (RF)
energy.
The FDA has been a leading participant
in the World Health Organization
International Electro Magnetic 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.
