What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible
health effects of wireless phone RF?
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 energy (RF). 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.
FDA and Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA)
have a formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement
(CRADA) to do research on wireless phone safety. FDA provides the
scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts in government,
industry, and academic organizations.
CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts to 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.
