Safety Guidelines

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 research will include both laboratory studies and studies

of wireless phone users. The CRADA will also include a broad

assessment of additional research needs in the context of the

latest research developments around the world.
