somecases,otherresearchershavehad

2. What is the FDA’s role concerning
the safety of wireless phones?
Underthelaw,theFDAdoesnot

3. What kinds of phones are the
subject of this update?
Theterm“wirelessphone”refers
heretohandheldwirelessphones
withbuilt-inantennas,oftencalled
“cell”,“mobile”,or“PCS”phones.
Thesetypesofwirelessphonescan
exposetheusertomeasurableRadio
Frequency(RF)energybecauseofthe
shortdistancebetweenthephoneand
theuser’shead.
TheseRFexposuresarelimitedbyFCC
safetyguidelinesthatweredeveloped
withtheadviceoftheFDAandother
federalhealthandsafetyagencies.
Whenthephoneislocatedatgreater
distancesfromtheuser,theexposure
toRFisdrasticallylowerbecause
aperson’sRFexposuredecreases
rapidlywithincreasingdistancefrom
thesource.Theso-called“cordless
phones,”whichhaveabaseunit
connectedtothetelephonewiringin
176 Safety
ahouse,typicallyoperateatfarlower
powerlevels,andthusproduceRF
exposuresfarbelowtheFCCsafety
limits.
4. What are the results of the
research done already?
Theresearchdonethusfarhas
producedconflictingresults,andmany
studieshavesufferedfromflaws
intheirresearchmethods.Animal
experimentsinvestigatingtheeffectsof
RadioFrequency(RF)energyexposures
characteristicofwirelessphoneshave
yieldedconflictingresultsthatoften
cannotberepeatedinotherlaboratories.
Afewanimalstudies,however,have
suggestedthatlowlevelsofRFcould

inlaboratoryanimals.However,many
ofthestudiesthatshowedincreased
tumordevelopmentusedanimalsthat
hadbeengeneticallyengineeredor
treatedwithcancer-causingchemicals
soastobepre-disposedtodevelop
cancerintheabsenceofRFexposure.

Otherstudiesexposedtheanimals
toRFforupto22hoursperday.
Theseconditionsarenotsimilartothe
conditionsunderwhichpeopleuse
wirelessphones,sowedonotknow
withcertaintywhattheresultsof
suchstudiesmeanforhumanhealth.
Threelargeepidemiologystudieshave
beenpublishedsinceDecember2000.
Betweenthem,thestudiesinvestigated
anypossibleassociationbetweenthe
useofwirelessphonesandprimary
braincancer,glioma,meningioma,
oracousticneuroma,tumorsofthe
brainorsalivarygland,leukemia,or
othercancers.Noneofthestudies
demonstratedtheexistenceofany
harmfulhealtheffectsfromwireless
phoneRFexposures.However,noneof
thestudiescananswerquestionsabout
long-termexposures,sincetheaverage
periodofphoneuseinthesestudies
wasaroundthreeyears.
5. What research is needed to
decide whether RF exposure from
wireless phones poses a health
178 Safety
risk?
Acombinationoflaboratorystudies
andepidemiologicalstudiesofpeople
actuallyusingwirelessphoneswould
