wireless phones to notify users of
the health hazard and to repair,
replace, or recall the phones so that
the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data
do not justify FDA regulatory
actions, the FDA has urged the
wireless phone industry to take a
number of steps, including the
following:
]
Support needed research into
possible biological effects of RF of
the type emitted by wireless
phones;
]
Design wireless phones in a way
that minimizes any RF exposure to
the user that is not necessary for
device function; and
]
Cooperate in providing users of
wireless phones with the best
possible information on possible
effects of wireless phone use on
human health.
The 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
]
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (Administración de
la seguridad y salud laborales)
]
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration
]
National Telecommunications and
Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health
participates in some interagency
working group activities, as well.
