Center for Devices and Radiological Health

Consumer Update on Mobile Phones:

1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?

The available scientific evidence does not show that any

health problems are associated with using wireless

phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless phones

are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of

Radio Frequency (RF) energy in the microwave range

while being used. They also emit very low levels of RF

when in the standby mode. Whereas high levels of RF can

produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low

level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no

known adverse health effects. Many studies of low level

RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some

studies have suggested that some biological effects may

occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by

additional research. In some cases, other researchers

have had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in

determining the reasons for inconsistent results.

2. What is the FDA's role concerning the safety of

wireless phones?

Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety of

radiation-emitting consumer products such as wireless

phones before they can be sold, as it does with new drugs

or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to

take action if wireless phones are shown to emit Radio

Frequency (RF) energy at a level that is hazardous to the

user. In such a case, the FDA could require the

manufacturers of wireless phones to notify users of the

health hazard and to repair, replace, or recall the phones

so that the hazard no longer exists.

Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA

regulatory actions, the FDA has urged the wireless phone

industry to take a number of steps, including the following:



Support needed research into possible biological

effects of RF of the type emitted by wireless phones;



Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF

exposure to the user that is not necessary for device

function; and



Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with

the best possible information on possible effects of

wireless phone use on human health.
