Risk of Brain Cancer from Exposure to Radio Frequency Fields Cell Phone Industry Actions in Childhood and Adolescence (MOBI-KIDS) Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory MOBI-KIDS is an international study investigating the relationship actions, the FDA has urged the cell phone industry to take a between exposure to radio frequency energy from number of steps, including the following: communication technologies including cell phones and brain • Support-needed research on possible biological effects of RF for the cancer in young people. This is an international multi-center type of signal emitted by cell phones; study involving 14 European and non-European countries. • Design cell phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the Additional information about MOBI-KIDS can be found at http://www.creal.cat/programes-recerca/en_projectes-creal/ view.php?ID=39.. T Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program of the National Cancer Institute F The National Cancer Institute (NCI) actively follows cancer statistics in the United States to detect any change in rates of A new cases for brain cancer. If cell phones play a role in risk for brain cancer, rates should go up, because heavy cell phone use R has been common for quite some time in the U.S. Between 1987 and 2005, the overall age-adjusted incidence of brain cancer did D not increase. Additional information about SEER can be found at user; and • Cooperate in providing users of cell phones with the current information on cell phone use and human health concerns. The FDA also is working with voluntary standard-setting bodies such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), and others to assure that safety standards continue to adequately protect the public. Reducing Exposure: Hands-Free Kits and Other Accessories Steps to Reduce Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy http://seer.cancer.gov/. If there is a risk from being exposed to radio frequency energy (RF) from cell phones - and at this point we do not know that there is - it is probably very small. But, if you are concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your RF exposure. 119
