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
