Consumer Information on devices

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published a series of
Questions and Answers for consumers relating to radio frequency (RF)
exposure from devices. The FDA publication includes the following
information:

What kinds of pdevices are the subject of this update?

The term device refers here to hand-held devices with built-in
antennas, often called “cell,” “mobile,” or “PCS” devices. These types of
devices can expose the user to measurable radio frequency energy
(RF) because of the short distance between the device and the user's
head. These RF exposures are limited by Federal Communications
Commission safety guidelines that were developed with the advice of
FDA and other federal health and safety agencies. When the device is
located at greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF is

1

drastically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly
with increasing distance from the source. The so-called “cordless
devices,” which have a base unit connected to the telephone wiring in a
house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus produce RF
exposures well within the FCC's compliance limits.

Do devices pose a health hazard?

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health
problems are associated with using devices. There is no proof,
however, that devices are absolutely safe. devices emit low levels of
radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used.
They also emit very low levels of RF when in the stand-by mode.
Whereas high levels of RF can produce healt h 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.

What is FDA's role concerning the safety of devices?

Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting
consumer products such as devices before they can be sold, as it does
with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has authority
to ta ke ac tion if devic es ar e sho wn to emit radi o fr eque ncy e nerg y (RF )
at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could
require the manufacturers of devices to notify users of the health

Health and safety information

hazard and to repair, replace or recall the devices so that the hazard no
longer exists.

Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory
actions, FDA has urged the device industry to take a number of steps,
including the following:

• “Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of

Health and safety information

the type emitted by devices;

• “Design devices in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the
user that is not necessary for device function; and

• “Cooperate in providing users of devices with the best possible
information on possible effects of device use on human health.

FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies
that have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure
coordinated efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong
to this working group:

• “National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

• “Environmental Protection Agency

• “Federal Communications Commission

• “Occupational Safety and Health Administration

• “National Telecommunications and Information Administration

The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency
working group activities, as well.

FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for devices with the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). All devices that are sold in the
United States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF

3

exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for safety
questions about devices.

FCC also regulates the base stations that the device networks rely
upon. While these base stations operate at higher power than do the
devices themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these base
stations are typically thousands of times lower than those they can get
from devices. Base stations are thus not the primary subject of the
safety questions discussed in this document.

What are the results of the research done already?

The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many
studies have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal
experiments investigating the effects of radio frequency energy (RF)
exposures characteristic of devices have yielded conflicting results that
often cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies,
however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the
development of cancer in laboratory animals. However, many of the
studies that showed increased tumor development used animals that
had been genetically engineered or treated with cancer-causing
chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in absence of RF
exposure. Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22 hours
per day. These conditions are not similar to the conditions under which
people use devices, so we don't know with certainty what the results of
such studies mean for human health.

Three large epidemiology studies have been published since December

2000. Between them, the studies investigated any possible association

between the use of devices and primary brain cancer, glioma,

Health and safety information

meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary
gland, leukemia, or other cancers. None of the studies demonstrated
the existence of any harmful health effects from devices RF exposures.
However, none of the studies can answer questions about long-term
exposures, since the average period of device use in these studies was
around three years.

What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure

Health and safety information

from devices poses a health risk?

A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of
people actually using devices would provide some of the data that are
needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could be completed in a few
years. However, very large numbers of animals would be needed to
provide reliable proof of a cancer promoting effect if one exists.
Epidemiological studies can provide data that is directly applicable to
human populations, but ten or more years' follow-up may be needed to
provide answers about some health effects, such as cancer. This is
because the interval between the time of exposure to a cancer-causing
agent and the time tumors develop - if they do - may be many, many
years. The interpretation of epidemiological studies is hampered by
difficulties in measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of
devices. Many factors affect this measurement, such as the angle at
which the device is held, or which model of device is used.

What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible
health effects of devices RF?

FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with
groups of investigators around the world to ensure that high priority

5

animal studies are conducted to address important questions about the
effects of exposure to radio frequency energy (RF).

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 EMF issues.

FDA and Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA)
have a formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement
(CRADA) to do research on wdevice safety. FDA provides the scientific
oversight, obtaining input from experts in government, industry, and
academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through
contracts to independent investigators. The initial research will include
both laboratory studies and studies of device users. The CRADA will
also include a broad assessment of additional research needs in the
context of the latest research developments around the world.

What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radio
frequency energy from my device?

If t her e is a risk fro m th ese products - an d at thi s poin t we do n ot k now
that there is - it is probably very small. But if you are concerned about
avoiding even potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to
minimize your exposure to radio frequency energy (RF). Since time is a
key factor in how much exposure a person receives, reducing the
amount of time spent using a device will reduce RF exposure.

• “If you must conduct extended conversations by device every day,
you could place more distance between your body and the source of

the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with
distance. For example, you could use a headset and carry the
device away from your body or use a device connected to a remote
antenna.

Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that devices are harmful.
But if you are concerned about the RF exposure from these products,
you can use measures like those described above to reduce your RF

Health and safety information

exposure from device use.

What about children using devices?

The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of devices,
including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower
exposure to radio frequency energy (RF), the measures described
above would apply to children and teenagers using devices. Reducing
the time of device use and increasing the distance between the user
and the RF source will reduce RF exposure.

Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised
that children be discouraged from using devices at all. For example, the
government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such
a recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no evidence
exists that using a device causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their
recommendation to limit device use by children was strictly
precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health
hazard exists.

Do hands-free kits for devices reduce risks from exposure
to RF emissions?
