The National Institutes of
Health participates in some
interagency working group
activities, as well.
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.
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.
