G
Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF
of the type emitted by wireless phones;
G
Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure
to the user that is not necessary for device function; and
G
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:
G
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
G
Environmental Protection Agency
G
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
G
National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency
working group activities, as well.
The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are
sold in the United States must comply with FCC safety guidelines
that limit RF exposure. The FCC relies on the FDA and other health
agencies for safety questions about wireless phones.
The FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone
networks rely upon. While these base stations operate at higher
power than do the wireless phones themselves, the RF exposures
that people get from these base stations are typically thousands of
times lower than those they can get from wireless phones.
Base stations are thus not the subject of the safety questions
discussed in this document.
