about the effects of exposure
to Radio Frequency (RF)
energy.
The FDA has been a leading
participant in the World Health
Organization International
Electro Magnetic 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.
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. CTIA-funded
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.
