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 website at

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
