Safety

FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association

(CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research and Development

Agreement (CRADA) to do research on wireless phone 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

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.

What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to k

radiofrequency energy from my wireless phone?

If there is a risk from these products—and at this point we do not

know 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 radiofrequency

energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a

person receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless

phone will reduce RF exposure.

If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone •

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 wireless phone away from your body or use a wireless phone

connected to a remote antenna.

Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless phones

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 exposure from wireless phone use.
