Consumer Information
About Radio Frequency
Emissions
Your wireless phone, which
contains a radio transmitter
and receiver, emits radio
frequency energy during
use. The following consumer
information addresses
commonly asked questions
about the health effects of
wireless phones.
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.
