FDA Consumer Update
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health 
Consumer Update on Mobile Phones:
1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are 
associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless 
phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of Radio Frequency 
(RF) energy in the microwave range while being used. They also emit...

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
•	 National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates...

4. What are the results of the research done already?
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many studies have 
suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating 
the effects of Radio Frequency (RF) energy exposures characteristic of wireless 
phones have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be repeated in other 
laboratories. A few animal studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF 
could accelerate 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...

8. What has the FDA done to measure the Radio Frequency 
energy coming from wireless phones?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a technical 
standard for measuring the Radio Frequency (RF) energy exposure from wireless 
phones and other wireless handsets with the participation and leadership of FDA 
scientists and engineers. The standard, “Recommended Practice for Determining 
the Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in the Human Body Due...

10. What about children using wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones, 
including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower exposure 
to Radio Frequency (RF) energy, the measures described above would apply to 
children and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the time of wireless 
phone use and increasing the distance between the user and the RF source will 
reduce RF exposure. Some groups sponsored by other...
