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.

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
(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 is available at
cellular.html or through the FCC at
