information addresses commonly asked questions about the health

Are wireless phones safe?

Scientific research on the subject of wireless phones and radio frequency
(“RF”) energy has been conducted worldwide for many years, and
continues. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)
and the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) set policies and
procedures for wireless phones. The FDA issued a website publication on
health issues related to cell phone usage where it states, “The scientific
community at large … believes that the weight of scientific evidence does
not show an association between exposure to radiofrequency (RF) from
cell phones and adverse health outcomes. Still the scientific community
does recommend conducting additional research to address gaps in
knowledge. That research is being conducted around the world and FDA
continues to monitor developments in this field. You can access the joint
FDA/FCC website at http://www.fda.gov (under “c” in the subject index,
select Cell Phones > Research). You can also contact the FDA toll-free
at (888) 463-6332 or (888) INFO-FDA. In June 2000, the FDA entered
into a cooperative research and development agreement through which
additional scientific research is being conducted. The FCC issued its own
website publication stating that “there is no scientific evidence that
proves that wireless phone usage can lead to cancer or a variety of other
problems, including headaches, dizziness or memory loss.” This publication
