many years. The interpretation of epidemiological
studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring
actual RF exposure during day-to-day use
of wireless phones. Many factors affect this
measurement, such as the angle at which the

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 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
