cancer. This is because
the interval between the
time of exposure to a
cancer-causing agent
and the time tumors
develop — if they do
— may be many, many
years. The interpretation
of epidemiological
studies is hampered by
difficulties in measuring
actual RF exposure
during day-to-day use
of wireless phones.
Many factors affect this
measurement, such as
the angle at which the
phone is held, or which
model of phone is used.
6. What is the FDA do-
ing 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
Radio Frequency (RF)
energy.
The FDA has been
a leading participant
in the World Health
Organization
International Electro
Magnetic 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
