FDA Consumer Update

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration Center

for Devices and Radiological Health Consumer

Update on Mobile Phones.

1. 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 radiofrequency energy

(RF) in the microwave range while being

used. They also emit very low levels of RF

when in the Home screen. 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.
