Safety Guidelines
6. What is the FDA doing 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 radiofrequency
energy (RF). The FDA has
been a leading participant in
the World Health Organization
International Electromagnetic
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 also helped
develop a series of public
information documents on
242
EMF issues. The FDA and the
Cellular Telecommunications
& Internet Association (CTIA)
have a formal Cooperative
Research and Development
Agreement (CRADA) to do
research on wireless phone
safety. The FDA provides
the scientific oversight,
obtaining input from experts
in government, industry, and
academic organizations.
CTIAfunded research is
conducted through contracts
with independent investigators.
The initial research will include
both laboratory studies and
studies of wireless phone
users. The CRADA will also
include a broad assessment
of additional research needs
in the context of the latest
research developments
around the world.
