Cell Phone Industry Actions

Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory
actions, the FDA has urged the cell phone industry to take a number
of steps, including the following:

Support-needed research on possible biological effects of RF for the type

of signal emitted by cell phones;

Design cell phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user;

and

Cooperate in providing users of cell phones with the current information

on cell phone use and human health concerns.

The FDA also is working with voluntary standard-setting bodies such
as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP), and others to assure that safety standards continue to
adequately protect the public.

Steps to Reduce Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy

If there is a risk from being exposed to radio frequency energy (RF)
from cell phones - and at this point we do not know that there is - it
is probably very small. But, if you are concerned about avoiding even
potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your RF
exposure.

Reduce the amount of time spent using your cell phone;

Use speaker mode or a headset to place more distance between your head

and the cell phone.
