Are Wireless Phones and Devices Safe? Scientific research on the subject of wireless devices 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 devices. The FDA issued a website publication on health issues related to cell phone usage where it states that, while research is ongoing, "available scientific evidence-including World Health Organization ["WHO"] findings [in the Interphone study] released May 17, 2010-shows no increased health risk due to radiofrequency (RF) energy, a form of electromagnetic radiation that is emitted by cell phones." The FDA also cites a separate National Cancer Institute program finding that, despite the dramatic increase in cell phone use, occurrences of brain cancer did not increase between 1987 and 2005. You can access the FDA website at http://www.fda.gov/ ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm212273.htm. You can also contact the FDA toll-free at (888) 463-6332 or (888) INFO-FDA. The FCC has its own website publication stating that "[t]here is no scientific evidence that proves that wireless phone usage can lead to cancer or other problems, including headaches, dizziness or memory loss." This publication is available at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/cellular.html or through the FCC at (888) 225-5322 or (888) CALL-FCC. The National Cancer Institute ("NCI") states that concerns about the potential health effects of using cellular phones-"and specifically the suggestion that using a cell phone may increase a person's risk of developing brain cancer-are not supported by a growing body of research on the subject." You can access NCI's review of the research at http://www.cancer.gov/ ncicancerbulletin/NCI_Cancer_Bulletin_092308/page7.

Are Wireless Phones and Devices Safe?
Scientific research on the subject of wireless devices 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
devices. The FDA issued a website publication on health issues
related to cell phone usage where it states that, while research
is ongoing, “available scientific evidence—including World
Health Organization [“WHO”] findings [in the Interphone study]
released May 17, 2010—shows no increased health risk due
to radiofrequency (RF) energy, a form of electromagnetic
radiation that is emitted by cell phones.” The FDA also cites
a separate National Cancer Institute program finding that,
despite the dramatic increase in cell phone use, occurrences
of brain cancer did not increase between 1987 and 2005.
