FDA has been receiving inquiries about the safety of mobile

phones, including cellular phones and
phones. The follow
ing summarizes what is known--and what remains unknown
-

what can be done to minimize any potential risk. This informa

tion may be used to respond to questions.
Why the concern?
Mobile phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (i.e.,
radio frequency radiation) in the microwave range while being
used. They also emit very low levels of radio frequency energy

well. Although some research
has been done to address these questions, no clear picture of
the biological effects of this type of radiation has emerged to
date. Thus, the available science does not allow us to conclude
that mobile phones are absolutely safe, or that they are unsafe.
However, the available scientific evidence does not demonstrate
any adverse health effects associated with the use of mobile
phones.

ever, an association was found between mobile phone use
and one rare type of glioma, neuroepithelliomatous tumors.
It

that
this association occurred by chance. Moreover, the risk
did not increase with how often the mobile phone was used,
or the length of the calls. In fact, the risk actually decreased
with cumulative hours of mobile phone use. Most cancer
