The National Institutes of Health
participates in some interagency
working group activities, as well.
The FDA shares regulatory
responsibilities for wireless phones
with the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). All phones that
are sold in the United States must
comply with FCC safety guidelines
that limit RF exposure. The FCC relies
on the FDA and other health
agencies for safety questions about
wireless phones.

The FCC also regulates the base
stations that the wireless phone
networks rely upon. While these
base stations operate at higher
power than do the wireless phones
themselves, the RF exposures that
people get from these base stations
are typically thousands of times
lower than those they can get from
wireless phones. Base stations are
thus not the subject of the safety
questions discussed in this
document.
3. What kinds of phones are the
subject of this update?
The term 'wireless phone' refers here
to handheld wireless phones with
built-in antennas, often called 'cell',
'mobile', or 'PCS' phones. These
types of wireless phones can expose
the user to measurable
radiofrequency energy (RF) because
of the short distance between the
phone and the user's head. These RF
exposures are limited by FCC safety
