FDA Consumer Update
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s
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 idle
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.
